Anderson Valley Brother Davids Triple

Brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Tripel
Boonville, California USA

Copper color with a thin head. Deadpan aroma of nothing. Matly flavor with a hoppy and slightly bitter finish. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Bottle. Mostly diminishing small ivory head with very poor lacing, fine-small sized bubbles, transparent, carbonated, and an orange hue. Malty, caramel, hoppy, sweet nose. Very nice. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, and some hops. Smooth and somewhat dry mouthfeel.

Poured a bright clear orange/copper color with a small quickly receding off white head. The nose was fruity and spicy with sweet cloves, some white grape and citrus notes as well. The taste starts sugary and yeasty with buiscuit. Green apple and white grape come in next with a spicy dryness in the end. The beer finished with warming alcohol that reminds me the beer is 10% abv. This was a little too boozey for me. This one really kicked my ass. Be warned, your first one of the night may be you last.

Spiced apples, sourness. Pours a coppery body and small head. Lots of yeastiness.

Pours a clear light amber color, small white head. Aroma is apples and pears. Flavor is sweet, caramel, belgian yeast and citrus.

Aroma of white raisin, coriander, and malt, giving way to distinctive cantaloupe and banana as the beer warms. Appears amber-golden with a small cream-colored head and noticeable effervescence of medium-large bubbles. Flavor is peppery with some underlying sweetness but, in the end, dominated by spice and alcohol. Palate is medium-thin and appropriate for the style. Overall, this beer is slightly greater than the sum of its parts and not at all bad.

Wow. I am not sure what went wrong when most of you rated this beer but my wife and I absolutely loved this one. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this fine brew poured a cloudy bronze color with a small white head. The aroma was strong and sugary with a faintly sour tangy and fruity finish. The flavor is strong sweet candi with nice ripe fruits and a yeasty middle. the finish is tangy sugars. I found the alcohol to be rather well disguised and found an enjoyable thick mouthfeel. I will definitely be tracking down this one again.

This beer pours a copper color with a thin white head and little to no soapy lacing. The aroma is alcoholic, with hints of malt, citrus and oak apparent. Without a doubt the alcohol stands out as prevalent. The flavor is abrasive at its best with a citrusy tang and stickyness apparent throughout. Medium bodied with a heavy syrupy citrusy tang and a hint of spice. Probably the worst atribute of this beer is the finish which is dry, overly tangy and citrusy with heavy aceticness. Absolutely no balance here and little usage of malts. Carbonation levels are light. I aged this for nearly 8 months and that did about nothing...this needs to be aged further. This tastes like a cinnamon biscotti....thats about the nicest compliment you’ll get from me about this beer.
