Commercial Description:
You are holding the inaugural release in a multi-year brewing experiment-to brew a series of beers as diverse as the great state of New Jersey. Our theme is the state-long artery that connects us. Each beer will focus on the unique aspect of an individual exit, whether an ingredient or event. The journey begins at Exit 4- right up the street from the Flying Fish brewery. As one of the first craft brewers to embrace Belgian-style beers, we’ve chosen to start with a Belgian trippel, finished with plenty of American hops. Note the hazy golden hue and the aroma of citrus with hints of banana and clove. Then taste the Belgian malt flavors and a subdued bitterness in the finish. Bottle conditioned, this beer will develop as it ages. Enjoy.

Bottle at BCTC. Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head. Light hoppy citrusnotes. Thin to medium body and light malt. Finishes with a light dry bitterness. Not bad, but not memorable in the least.

Bottle at BCTC 2009: Hazy golden with a white film of head. Hoppy nose- bright zesty with a biscuit background and a light peppery grassy noble hop presence. Light body with a very grassy flavor. Some pale malt background and an astringency of vegetal pine character. Not really Belgian feeling. Eh.

Mostly clear bright golden body, medium tall sudsy creamy white head. aroma is fresh grapefruit rind, hoppy for a tripel. also a lkittle sweaty/pissy/yeasty. maybe a little dried tropical fruit in the aroma too. flavor starts caramel malty sweet, a little spicy like white pepper, dried pineapple chunks and grapefruit sections with rind. some earthy yeast and then very dry/astringent hop bitterness. a little boozy/herbal/ginny in the aftertaste.

Bottle from Craft. Pours hazy gold with white head. Nose is floral spices, hopcitrus, rock sugary malt, some fruit. Tastes hopcitric, on the dry side, with spice, hops, some floral and fruit notes, solid malt bill, and a lively carbonation with good complexity.

The initial taste is that of spicy citrus hop bitterness followed by some caramel malt sweetness and some almost hidden banana/clove mixture, but it is the spiciness of the hops that dominates here, for now. However as I finish more and more of this bottle the orange becomes a more pronounced flavor.

Bottle. This beer is overpriced. Decent brew but this"tripel" doesn’t hit its mark. Won’t have it again.
