The usually peaceful St. Vrain River snakes out of the Rocky Mountains, winding mischievously towards our brewery. Named after Ceran St. Vrain, an 1800’s trapper and trader in the valley, St. Vrain is our version of a classic Belgian Tripel. Light in color and lightly hopped using Celeia hops, a touch of malt sweetness contrasts the warm spiciness hidden within. What at first appears benevolent can manifest into a mighty serpent in waiting.

355ml bottle. Slightly milky, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Relatively weak, yeasty fruity aroma, sweet-ish, pale and wheaty malty background, hints of banana and apricot. Taste is yeasty fruity and minimally yeasty spicy, sweet-ish, minimally biscuity, pale and wheaty malty basis, notes of banana, hints of apricot and mirabelle, a touch of clove, mildly bitter, slightly fruity hoppy counterpart with a touch of mandarine; minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and fairly soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, fine, dense, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rather cautious aroma, good taste, a tad too clean somehow - nice.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma of caramel, flowers, dried fruit and yeast. Pours clear golden color with thin creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts sweet malty with dried fruity note, following is yeasty, a bit sulphury and grassy, mouthfeel is smooth and warm, while finish is average bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. St. boozy ale…

Can drunk preparing for vacation. Golden, light hazy. Biscuity malt nose with bright hop overtones and Belgian yeast esters. Flavor is pretty sweet and caramel, not too complex. Label indicates dextrose, who thought this needed to be sweeter ;) well, it's alright.

Can from Beer Republic (advent calendar).
A: clear golden, small, white head.
A: vodka, ripe apple, pineapple, white bread, clove.
T: sweet pineapple & pear; spicy notes, perfumey.
F: floral hops, ripe yellow fruit, dough, boozy vodka-like alcohol.
P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
A bit too crude even to Belgian standards.
