330ml draft

Pours a finger of white head into a Teku. Retention is ok, the head leaves a nice film though. Lacing is super thick. Body is a cloudy golden yellow. Looks pretty nice.

Nose has blended notes of banana, peach, and oak. Maybe a touch of acidity. Smells unique and very complex. Impressive.

Flavor is really interesting. Notes of fresh banana, slightly acidic, maybe a touch of funk, and a bit of clean alcohol in the finish. Not as big or diverse as the nose, but still a very good flavor.

Carbonation is relatively high. Body is pretty light. Bitterness is low. The alcohol and acidity aren’t a big deal, but the dryness cuts through this beer a little hard for me. Mouthfeel is alright.

Drinkability is ok.

A little rough around the edges but overall this is a wonderfully complex beer. Wouldn't be surprised if this has picked up a small amount of brett from the foeder.

Revisited 4/10/18

1/7/24 Poured from a bottle purchased at Vintage Estate Wine and Beer Store in Boardman OH.

Looks of beautiful opaque amber. White foam with nice lacing.

Aroma ..Banana and peach, malt, Candi sugars. Fresh hay? Something earthy.

Taste ..a surprising sharp zing right away. Sweetness that i expected was not there. A sour, metallic funk. Back end bitterness that distracts me from enjoying this. This reminds me more of a Belgian IPA.

Cloudy gold with a bit of fluffy clouds. Mild funk on the scent. Strong Belgian presence on the taste, a classic Triple. Clear, clean finish. Good, not great.

Pours a light, soft yellow hue, light honey color in the glass; partially hazy; dense carbonation; thick, sticky, white head, sculpted and long lasting. Well-balanced aroma; earthy, fruity sweetness; light caramel; orange peel and coriander notes; lightly floral. Nice taste; fruit-like and candi sugar sweetness; muted spiciness; cloves and coriander. Heavy body; ticklish on the palate; mild residual sugar stickiness.

A nice triple, very easy drinking, and it hides its ABV quite well.

From the 12.7 fl oz bottle in a snifter. This solid little brew pours a hazed
golden with a moderate head of white foam that settles to a thick ring, thin
layer, and displays some nice light lacing. Nose of candy malt, bubblegum,
light banana, clove, lemon zest, light breaded malts, and white pepper.
Flavors follow the nose but exceed in a fine presentation of candy sugar,
light clove, coriander, light banana, white pepper, subtle oak, light white
grape, light breaded malts, orange zest, lemon zest, and spicy grassy hops
mingling with the phenol notes. Mouth feel is medium, medium light
carbonation, smooth, and finishing lightly spicy and subtly dry.

Overall, a nice presentation of one of my favorite styles.

Cheers

Anchorage brewing a Tripel just seems to make sense given their approach to classic styles. It’s not often that a Tripel excites me, but I think this one will be an interesting take on the style. Let’s pop it open and find out if I’m right

Pours a cloudy deep gold with a finger of creamy off white head that slowly fades to a thin cap and leaves decent lacing

The nose is definitely very bright as I was expecting, but it still retains the traditional estery notes associated with the style as well. I’m picking up on aromas of lemon zest, stone, banana runts, wildflower honey, earthy wheat, bready malt, wet hay, and light bubblegum

It’s not as sharp in taste, but there’s still a decent bite to it. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting bready malt, underripe banana, sweet honey, orange zest, wet hay, light grassy hops, and bubblegum. The swallow brings notes of doughy malt, earthy wheat, sweet honey, straw, black pepper, orange zest, and underripe banana

A medium body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a smooth beer. Finishes mostly dry and refreshing

This one is pretty damn good all around

375ml bottle from Tavour. Cloudy golden pour, white fluffy head. Looks great. Aroma is bread and butter with Belgian yeasty notes. Taste is French bread, grassy, yeasty, cheese rind. Not thick, but a nice full feel with a touch of dryness. Beautiful all around.

poured from a 375mL bottle into a TG assassin teku. pours a beautiful gold with a two-finger bright white foam head. light oak, soapy belgian yeast and and banana on the nose. taste mostly follows. a little bit of citrus and earthiness. hides the abv quite well. medium-full mouthfeel. carbonation is about where i would expect it to be. good stuff. belgian forward with a. ice oak presence and the saaz hops works well too.
