Bees in the Trappe

Draft at proletariat. Pours yellow orange with puffy head. Nose is faint bubblegum and yeast. Tastes of bubblegum, honey, yeast, light citrus, and touch flowery. Medium bodied and sticky on back of throat.

The Sampler, Brooklyn 650ml: Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is honey, and plenty of it; Belgian yeast, ample amounts of course; and plenty of fruitiness. Taste is really honey forward, but it blends well with the well enough with the tripel backbone. Good, but not the best I’ve seen from Grimm.

Drought at Spuiyten Duyvil. Hazy golden yellow with small foamy whitishj head, honey aroma, high carbonation, slightly sour and sweet taste, abrupt finish with honey aftertaste. Interesting and tasty brew.

Wine glass at Astoria Bier & Cheese. Complimentary beernuts!

Soft, white, flaky head. Patchy lace. Orange, thick, honey-ish appearance.
Smell is drier then expected. Leafy. Candle wax. Florals. Faint citrus. Fresh.
Taste is wheaty & floral, with a nice bittersweet rind. Mellow lime note. Cooked honey sweetness. Clovey, yeasty finish.
Dusty, calcified, witbier-like texture. Soft carbonation, would of liked more. Warming.

Better then my review made it sound. Drinks like a wit. Not as awesome as Dupont’s Biere de Miel, but pretty solid for some gypsies. :)

Notes from 9/25/13

Bottle. Pours clear gold with white head. Nose and taste of honey, sweet bread, yeast, milk sugar and honey cream. Medium body.

A hazed blonde ale with a thick lacing frothy white head. In aroma, sweet honey frankincense, curacao, like a wit. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with honey, banana, cloves, curacao, light alcohol, well done. On tap at Brooklyn Pour 2013.

Draft. Hazy pale yellow color, large white head, solid lacing. Aroma of honey, straw, raw white bread dough. Taste is doughy straw, more complex and less sweet than most tripels.
