This beer is a Belgian Tripel that lives up to its name. Smooth and carefully crafted like a fine velvet painting, but with an 8.5% ABV this bird has some spurs! The beer pours a golden straw color with brilliant clarity. Topped with a lofty pure white head the beer has a wonderful floral nose, with subtle fruit notes. The taste is clean and crisp, with subtle fruit notes and a touch of candy like sweetness. The beer has a Champagne-like effervescent that provides a crisp offset to its sweet finish. While a pint glass is always nice, Velvet Rooster
would also be at home in a tulip glass or Champagne flute. Something to crow about.

16oz can I got from Jake65 in a trade. Thanks Jake! Pours a hazy orange with some hazy, white head. Nose is mild, honey, clove, spice, orange. Flavor is grassy, sweet malt, tropical fruit, black pepper. Boozy finish.

Decided to rock the rooster on a Tuesday night, somewhat enamored with the idea of pouring a tripel from a pounder can... It fades. Pale orange color with a fizzy beige head. Lingering swirls. Nose is dry and dusty. Straw, florals, and yeast. Consistent with the flavor profile. Lots of barnyard and esters, not much fruit. Not much spice either. Grainy and malty. Crisp. Different than I expected, but enjoyable.

16oz can Thanks Jake65 Hazy golden with a full white dense head. Classic fruity spicy aroma. Some banana and bubblegum in the flavor along with typical peppery Belgian spice. Mild overall and drinkable for a trip.

Sample at Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar. Bright golden pour with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, yeast and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of earthy yeast, ripe fruit and mild floral hops. The finish is bready malt and yeast. Decent overall.

Nice, slightly hazy bright orange coloured body with a gold and copper tint and a large, four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of pungent alcohol, peaches, yeast, wheat, curacao, sugar and spices. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong yeast and wheat flavour at first with curacao, spice (clove and coriander seed) and a bit of light fruitiness. Aftertaste shows some depth with a lot of wheat body, some earthy but pungent sugars and a little kick from yeast. Overall, a nice and slightly earthier and more bitter tripel than most, but works out fairly nicely. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 24-October-2012 for US$2.79 sampled at home in Washington on 05-February-2013.

16 oz. can from a trade. (Thanks Tripplebrew) Used my Allagash chalice. Unfiltered gold color with plenty of soapy head from a slow, canted pour. Rings of lace as the glass emptied. Average carbonation. The aroma has Belgian yeast along with spicy kick. Flavor profile is mostly sweet, with a mild fruity flavor I didn’t notice in the smell. The finish shows that peppery, spicy kick I got from the aroma. Body is on the light side of medium. Mouthfeel is effervescent. Real drinkable for 8.5%. Really not excited about this. But not bad in anyway. Maybe better on draft?

Total Wine Fairfax: Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma is banana, coriander, spice, and a good amount of hops for a tripel. Taste is pretty strong for a tripel. This is not as easy drinking as some, but it is still pretty easy drinking. It has a dry and slightly bitter finish, moderate sweetness, and a reasonable complexity of flavor. I’m glad I brought this with me to a music festival.
