Commercial Description:
Over a hundred years ago, a famous vintner named the eastern facing slopes of the golden rolling hills that overlook the southern end of the San Francisco Bay. They run south from Woodside to what is now the Lexington reservoir. Forever after this wine appellation has been known as the Chaine d'Or (Chain of Gold). Much like our lil' brewery, or Gold itself, this is a region where quality surpasses quantity, this Ale is for you vintners who keep it so. Of the Belgian Triple style, this beer is a pale Barley Wine of sorts, made with but a single malt, Bohemian Pilsner. It's the addition of whole hops for a finishing flavor that truly complements the malt profile's simplicity.

Pours hazy golden with big head. Typical belgian yeast aromas. Pretty mild both flavor and aroma for a tripel. Nothing special.

(On tap) Ever so slightly hazy golden with a small, off-white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast and alcohol. Fairly full-bodied with a solid malt base, lightly sweet fruit accents and the a distinct, almost burning alcohol. Very bitter finish. 270307

Pours golden straw with an average head. This is a surprisingly mild beer for 10.5% ABV. The beer itself is pretty straightforward and one dimensional, a bit like a pilsner on steroids. I’m still baffled at how little alcohol I tasted.
