Brewers Art Cerberus Tripel

(2/9/06) Crystal clear apple juice body with white head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, herbal, some earthy. Taste is moderately sweey, herbal, alcohol, some melon. Too sweet. Medium-full body, light stickiness. (5/3/5/3/10)

(1/16/03) Clear golden body with minimal head. Aroma is rock-candy sweet and apple. Taste is sweet, apple, some Saaz bitterness. Definite alcohol taste/burn toward the back and in the aftertaste. Taste has no carbonation. FWIW, the brewer indicates they actually use corn in this product -- BMC, you are not alone. (6/2/6/3/12)

On tap at the Maryland Brewers Oktoberfest 2003. This beer rocks! Crystal clear, very light yellow ale. Nice, creamy, white head. Mostly lasting with minimal lacework. The aroma is interest and good. Notes of jalapenos, Geueze and chardonnay. The high ABV is not evident in the nose. Tasty. Very sweet up front. Honey and alcohol notes. Well-bittered. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, astringent, dry finish. World class brew!

Golden ale with a lacing white head. Light maple aroma. Good hopy malt in mouth, nice alcohol warmth and notes of candied plums. Good tripel. On tap at BCTC 2006.

Draft at Brewers Art the weekend of Max’s 72 Hour Belgian Beerfest. Golden body. Aroma starts off flowery with sweet malts and soft spices. Begins to drift towards bubblegummy notes grains and dried fruit. Taste is more dried fruits, Belgian yeast, grains, candy notes, and sweet malts. Subtle spices throughout. Body is medium and the carbonation rather bubbly and effervescent. Ends with a stronger spice base, more grains, candy/bubblegum flavors more fruit and Belgian yeast/dusty flavors. Rather enjoyable!

Musty, yeast aroma -- doughy, light esters and phenols. Very pale clear yellow. Nicely balanced between sweet, bitter, tart and then briny at times. ABV apparent, but it only seems strong in the finish. Fruit notes, light banana. Perppery finish. Medium body.
