Belgian-style Tripel aged in French Calvados Casks
Bottle Release 5/20/23
Inspired by Belgium, Normandy, and Spring. We loved Sunlight of Bygone Days... but we wanted to give it a twist. We started with Heir to Ruins (our Tripel), but rather than add apple cider, we aged it in Calvados (apple brandy) casks. After nine months with Brettanomyces, it emerged more vibrant than expected with notes of pineapple, vanilla, and crisp red apples. Still with a touch of sweetness even after all of this time. It shares much in common with our barrel-aged sour beer... other than the sourness.
Brewed: 5/16/22 – Bottled: 3/23/23
Final pH: 4.26 – Cellar Up To: 4 years
Bottle Count: 581 – 1 Pint .9 fl oz/500 mL

Cloudy yellow body with a big white had. Belgian yeast leads the complex nose, light esters, dry earth, lemon zest, dry French oak, and faint calvados. Taste has big calvados and yeast, oak, lemon pith, mild barrel funk, and flowers. Feel is bright, effervescent, lightly yeasty and has a kiss of booziness. Unique but not as deep for style
