Brewed to celebrate our third anniversary, this strong golden ale has fruity aromas layered with hints of vanilla and candied walnuts from its time in the barrels from Finger Lakes Cider House. The lingering dry finish with mild bitterness has light notes of apple and spice. Pair with rich cheeses, smoked meats and grilled seafood.

I picked up a 500 ml corked and caged bottle at the brewery last week. Pouring a cellar temp into my chalice.
the beer pours golden color and rests in my glass a slightly darker copper color.
A fluffy soft eggshell white head of about 1 cm. This foam fades to a sturdy surface covering that remains through the sampling.
Aroma on this beer is some fruity apple and a bit of honey and general candied fruit. No hop character that I note and the ABV is well hidden on this beer. Seems pretty appropriate for the style to my nose.
First sip reveals a medium body with velvety soft texture and very fine tingly carbonation. Beer drinks pretty easy and I fine my glass emptying quickly.
Flavor is some fruity sugar with apples and maybe some peaches. I also get vanilla and a little bit of toffee. There isnt any hop character and the ABV is well hidden on the flavor profile too.
Im enjoying this tripel and believe the apple brandy barrels did add some flavor to the profile.
Well done.
