Another beer picked up from Halftime within the past half-year, a 12 oz bottle put up on July 1, '25 the label informs. My snifter from a Fort Worth brewery, Cowtown, will get the pour this cool and windy afternoon. The color is a dark gold, darker than most tripels, with a steady but slender skim of of completely white foam. I smell ripe peaches, yeast and oak. The drink is also somewhat different from the tripels I have had previously. Dried yellow fruit, plenty of wood, grain, bananas and a touch of spice. I get a full mouthfeel from the beer. The somewhat high ABV is covered up by the strong oak presence. I like it when Founders generates a potent and tasty brew, they seem to do it frequently. The sum is greater than the components.
