Boondocks Brewing Tap Room & Restaurant

 

Look: It pours cloudy and golden with a white head. Head retention is medium.

Smell: It has some doughy and grainy notes with some earthly elements. There are some lemon notes and low spice. In addition there are citrus notes with very low sourness.

Taste: It has some dough and grainy sweetness in the flavor. There are lemon and citrus flavors with medium high spice. There are some earthly elements with a very low tartness to it.

Feel: It has a medium body with high carbonation.

Overall, the flavors blend well although the tartness was unexpected, it did add a different dimension to it.

 

This unique Belgian Tripel style beer will have you sharing all of your secrets if you are not careful. A large amount of Pilsen Malt combined with a generous amount of Belgian Candi Sugar provides the base for the Abbey style yeast to do its thing. Just the right amount of Hops are used to provide a slight bitterness which is offset by the addition of Coriander seed and Orange peel, giving this Boondocks Brew it’s unique flavor.

Given the “High Gravity” of this beer the folks at Boondocks felt it appropriate to reference Ashe County’s own Third Knob Summit (elevation 3930 feet), about where you will be if you have one too many.
