Two Roads Brewmaster Phil Markowski has taken a road less traveled with this rye-based version of a classic Belgian Tripel. There are unique twists and turns at every corner that give our spring seasonal its unique, fruity complexity. The beer is characteristically spicy with a dry flavor and aroma thanks to the rye. The addition of American-grown Mosaic and Amarillo hops add notes of white wine, blueberries and fruit punch. We also used a noticeably fruity/spicy yeast strain that adds characteristics of pear and clove. So take the next exit for a fruity, spicy flavor and intense hop character.

The Sampler, Brooklyn bottle: pours deep golden with a white head. Aroma is fruits and honey. Taste is really sweet. Alcohol is well covered. Too sweet for my tastes. Too thick. Meh.

Pours gold into a tulip. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sourdough and peppercorn aromas. Sweet bubblegum upfront turning to mild pepper and pumpernickel before the lasting, cloying clove and yeast finish.

12oz goblet at Nags Head in Huntington. Pours a lightly murky, deep orange with some creamy, white head. Nose is all tripel, yeast, spice, booze, some mild grain, heavy honey. Flavor follows, lots of booze and sugar, some green bell pepper, tons of fruit punch and bubblegum. Where’s the rye? This was harsh to drink too. Probably bad from the concept stage.

I’m just going to come out and say this, no pussy-footing around: smells like sex. Not in a good way, not in a bad way, just in kind of a dank sweaty way. That’s all I have to say.

Tap at Stags Head. Pours golden orange frothy head. Nose is fruity and buttery. Tastes of butterscotch, bubblegum, banana, cereal, and residual wine sugar. Sweet finish and boozing warmness. But of an odd duck

Draft at Doherty’s in Warwick, RI. Hazy to cloudy golden yellow color, small white head. Aroma of lightly spiced baked bread, subtle pine, caramel. Taste is sweet, lightly spiced, decent body. More interesting than your average sweet and boozy tripel.

On draught at Spuyten Duyvil. Pours a slightly cloudy dark amber color with a medium white head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, tropical fruit and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of hops, tropical fruit and subtle rye malt. The finish is sweet with a fruity yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.
