This Scientific Series ™ offering combines brewing tradition with experimentation. A Belgian style tripel with a twist... Local orange flower honey and blood orange zest were added to this golden brew instead of the traditional Belgian candi sugar to increase the alcohol content of the beer while building delicate nuanced aromas and subtle citrus flavor overtones. Lastly, the honey gave this brew aging potential so the beer spent nearly a year in French oak wine barrels to further develop the type of character that only barrel aging can elicit. Enjoy this unique libation poured carefully into a stemmed glass at 45°-50°F. Bottle conditioned, some amount of yeast settling is normal. 1888 bottles individually numbered.

Pours from the Belgian 22oz bottle without a lot of head. Has the classic clear gold of a Tripel. Aroma is rather nice and enticing for me. Comes through with oak and a great classic Tripel nose as well. Great tripel overall with a good soft mouthfeel and almost sweet and juicy (for lack of better descriptors) finish. Definitely worth the pick up.
