North Country Belgian Nightmare

Formerly brewed at North Country Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Tripel
Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania USA

On draught. Has a very mild aroma. Some light bit of yeastiness and some sweet sugary character, but for a trippel not very aromatic. Clear golden amber with very little head. The biggest descriptor is SWEET. Holy hyperglycemia. The description of the beer on the menu - and I didn’t write it down - was that the brewer had had a lot of problems with this beer. I think another problem was that at 9.2%, there could have been more sugar conversions. Wow - almost undrinkable for me. Had a nice medium watery body with low carbonation. Sweet syrupy floral taste almost masked some good Belgian trippel profiles underneath. Needed more bittereness. Big sweet finish and cloying after.
