341ml bottle, day 17 of 'The Great White Wonder Adventure Pack', a collaboration between Central City and Parallel 49 to provide a Beer Advent (I can say that, even if they can't) holiday experience. Kind of on the low side ABV-wise for a Tripel, doncha think?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three pudgy fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky off- white head, which leaves some thick, splattered lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of estery Belgian yeast, gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled generic pome fruit, candi sugar, and some understated earthy, leafy, and gently soused-up floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, slightly phenolic yeast, weird banana chip notes, chewed-out bubblegum, and more weak leafy, vegetal, and herbal 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pricking frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and not particularly smooth, not with all those untethered musty esters milling about. It finishes off-dry, the malt and adjunct sugars keeping this one from fully going off the rails.
Overall - yeah, this one doesn't have any obvious defects, but it's a tad too brash in displaying the typical characteristics of this old-school style. Too yeasty, and too boozy for a sub-8 pointer, I was initially curious about the name's meaning, but now I just don't care.
