Flat Earth Bermuda Triangle

Brewed by Flat Earth Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Tripel
St. Paul, Minnesota USA

(Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a moderate white head. Aroma of florals, coriander, banana, and bubble gum. Flavor of bitter citric hops, coriander, orange peel, and some honey.

On draught at the Happy Gnome in St Paul, Minnesota. Hey! It even came in its own Brandy Snifter with the Flat Earth brewrey logo printed on it. Cool! Pours a clear golden orange brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin ring and some spotty lacing. Aroma of Belgian yeast, multi-grain with wheat, red ripe beets and some vegetable. Taste is full bodied, hardly any carbonation with a thick and syrupy texture. Flavors picked up include sweet honey, some Belgian yeast, bubblegum and plenty of alcohol. Finish is semi-sweet with a dry hop aftertaste followed by bubblegum and plenty of alcohol warmth. By far one of the best brews from Flat Earth.

Tap at Muddy Pig. Dark gold color with a medium head. Very strong hop aroma that is a mix of citrusy American and floral German hops. Lots of honey flavor with a strong yeast and spice smack. A little coriander. The malt is sweet, but so very subtle that it’s not overpowering the honey. Everything a Tripel should be.

Draught at the Gnome. Very nice. Surprising hop aroma. Unfortunatly the beer appears filtered, nothing special to say about the appearance. Flavor is a very good combination of hops and sweet. The honey is certainly there. I can’t taste the sugar or the malt, but the beer is sweet enough that there must be considerable sugar. Great balance with the hops and honey. Almost more of a saison than tripel.

Easy drinking, with a fun blend of flavors, ranging from light spice to sweetness suggesting bubblegum and citric fruit. I didn’t pick up the sense of honey, but it was sweet, and it may have also been sensed in the suppressed palate--not as bubbly or tingling as sometimes found here; instead it was more syrupy and coating, though certainly not heavily thick. Decent beer, though not my favorite tripel ever. (on tap at Happy Gnome, St. Paul)

Tap at Happy Gnome: Gold Color with No Head. Sweet Dry Malt, Ripe Banana and Bubblegum Aroma. Medium Bodied.. Syrupy Dry Malt, Dry Yeasty Quality to it... Notes of Banana and Bubblegum..Sweet Dry Aftertaste. Has a Nice Peppery Mouthfeel Througout. Overall a Nice American Triple. A Little Raw. Very Smooth for the Alcohol. Arguably Their Best Offering to Date.

Hazy golden color, smallish head (but more than the last pour I got, at another bar)... Sweetness and spice in the nose, apricot and orange...lemon peel and ginger. On par for style. A blast in the mouth, a bright bow-up of flavor, lovley and lively, same fruit and lightly spicy/sweet associations ring clear on the tongue. Lean and clean-bodied, but zesty and rewarding, getting brighter and juicier, maltier, with a dry, spicy finish, as we go further in... what’s the alcohol? 9%? Feelin’ it, now... Flavor really makes itself at home in the back of the throat before sliding slowly back, and softly going away...but never far from memory... my serving at the other place last night left me feeling that it lacked carbonation, and was too lifeless for me...I’m not having that problem here, not now...could use more spark, I still believe, but this is doing good things in my mouth, nonetheless...

On tap at the gnome and by far the best beer out Flat Earth yet. Crisp, light nose that didn’t reveal much until extensive agitation released an aroma of honey and hops. Clenan gold color with no head. Very nice honey flavor with a hopy finish.
