Commercial Description:
A golden Tripel-style ale. A little lighter in alcohol, but not in flavor, than Westmalle, and more drinkable. It matches the best of Belgium.

2nd Brewery 07-08 Beer Road Trip with Bikesandbeer, 12/31/07 @ The Brewery with Alan Sprints. Alan was nice enough to give Kevin, Kevin’s Girlfriend Jessi a private tour and tasting on New Year’s Eve 07. Bottle form Alan’s Personal Cellar after Kevin was talking about living in the Netherlands Alan went around back and rooted out a 1996 vintage of this brew and damn it was tastey. Pours yellow bubbly with a 1 finger bubbly head. Nose had a huge yeast character. Taste was alsmost Greg like sweet, yeasty, light and all in all a damn fine Tripel.

Bottle. Hazy golden brown with a small head. Aromas are brown sugar and caramel with spices. Earthy with ripe pear and bubblegum. Flavours are yeasty with sweet wheat and spices. Some chocolate with weetabix malts. Fruity with a dry finish.

On tap @ the brewery. Pours a hazy golden with a white diminishing head and lacings. Sweet and fruity. Belgian yeast and banana aromas. Doughy hints. Low carbonation. Dry finish.

330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Opens with a slowly moving foam snake. Rich orange, hazy, healthy tight head. More yeast darkens it significantly, and makes it basically turbid. Salty sour aroma, almost sweaty and crotchy. Initial taste has that too, but decent malty body too. Sweet and slightly spicy, but dominated by the crotch that builds up as it warms. Plenty of hops in the finish too - hallertau or similar detected, I’m sure. More yeast softens the aroma, making it less crotchy, and likewise the taste. Still a little acidic in the finish. I’m not sure this beer knows what it wants to be, it’s not an abbey tripel with the sourness we had, more like an ubersaison - spoilt bottle?

Nice hazy golden body with a creamy head. Aroma of coriander, ginger and malt. Taste was apple, toffee, cinnamon, fine hops. That was delicious too!!!

Deep gold body with a lightly off white head. The massive aroma was sweet with ginger and leather. There was also some nice caramel. The taste was sweet caramel apples with some strogn ginger and cinnamon coming through in the finish. Solid.
