At the brewery, into a 10oz pint glass.
Pours a clear amber with good foam, kind of dark. Aroma is dry pear, honey, and bubblegum. Very inviting. Flavor is similar. Bubblegum, white pepper, pear, all the best, most delicious Belgian flavors with a savory, slightly sweet hit of honey. There's a good white grape note as well, and it's just faintly sweet behind all the esters. Finish is a little sticky and smooth, not quite as crisp as a golden strong but very long and rather complex. It moves through a lot of yeast flavors to herbal hops and a little bit of that honey to end with a pleasant dry cereal note. Feel is good, extremely easy to drink for the ABV and having a decent body but still goes down well. Warming on the sip but refreshing, and no trace of ABV.
Overall, a tripel with honey that properly tastes like a tripel WITH honey, not a honey ale. It's still sweet and very identifiable as a strong Belgian ale, with all my favorite flavors of the style (leaning more golden ale than dark ale) with a cool twist in the substitution of honey for candi sugar. Delicious beer and it shows off that Half Batch knows what they're doing in the Belgian realm.
