Bottle text & Info:
Tripel's medium body and straw hue belie a beer of wondrous complexity. Fruity yeast character dominates throughout, while sweet malt and noble hops give way to a bit of warmth in the finish. Ever hugged a monk? This dangerously drinkable abbey-inspired ale just might have you chasing down the next one you see.
Tasting Notes:
Pours a cloudy vibrant yellow with a billowy pure white head. Smells of yeast and orange perhaps some honeydew tucked away in there. Floral for sure. I've included a pic of some very impressive carbonation stacking. Beautiful beer. Stylistically, this guy has all the components, yeast/estery, clove, slight toffee, slight bubblegum - in that order. Finishes slightly dry. The ratio of yeast to fruit note is slightly too high for my liking and although this is a solid offering from G.D. i would have to give my nod to the Stoudts. Still lots of days to dethrone the favie. stay tuned....
