Are there any aromatics more corruptly appealing than that suspect waft of dirt and sex that is the heart of fresh white truffles? Not the fake pretty perfumes ubiquitous these days, but the approach/avoidance primitive reaction to that heady scent of something that was secretly thriving just below fecund soil on early morning moments in late fall. Gilded Lily looks to take the beauty of a classic Belgian Tripel a step further by stitching a little bit of white truffle’s leather to the edges of the beer’s luxurious drape--the pull of a touch of kink peeking from a lovely silk robe. Drink Gilded Lily because a little hint of dirty makes it all the more alluring.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting XVI (Last Call) on 10/09/2025. Clear golden color with a thin white head that burns away steadily to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of yeast, truffles and malt. Full-bodied with flavors of fruity Belgian yeast, earthy truffles and biscuit malt. The finish is earthy and fruity with a truffle and yeast aftertaste. Interesting beer and pretty good all around.
