Lately it occurs to us that if, back in 1989, you planned on starting a brewery in the back of your carpentry shop, you'd been wise to seek out someone like Harold “Trip” Hogue. A collector of ancient Volvos, Trip was well qualified for the make-do engineering required to coax recalcitrant equipment out of retirement and into making the first Boulevard beers. Today, he is our longest-tenured employee. We offer this rich, golden Tripel in grateful tribute to dedication, everywhere.

[Original rating 2012-12-25] Pours clear gold/orange with a small white head that disappears quickly, leaving no lacing. Nice carbonation bubbling up from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of malt and fruit. Apples, stone fruit, straw, bread. Taste is sweet with a bit of alcohol, long sweet finish. Nice thick, oily mouth feel.

Notes of pear, peach, and warm bread throughout, with a hint of white pepper. Faintly sugary maltiness. Shimmering yellow-gold in the light, and capped by a mountain of creamy white head. Sweet malt dominates the flavor with hints of fresh-baked biscuits, spicy pears, and alcohol lurking behind a wall of ripe pears and honey.

12 oz bottle. Smells of pine and nice pot resin. This is an average pale ale. There’s nothing unique here. It’s drinkable, nothing more.
