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.

Pour is a hazy gold with a small white head. Aroma is yeasty with some spice and alcohol. Flavor is quite nice with some clove and banana then some barnyard and cereal. No real alcohol hits you like in the aroma. This is a pretty good offering. Probably not as intense as some tripels but it has all the qualities your looking for.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of citrus and hints of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus, and peaches, as well as light notes of milk, leading to a dry fruity finish.

Cloudy beige with a low, fluffy head. Dusty nose, with a slight jasmine accent. Quite sweet, though with some alcohol and hop dryness. Light florals and some background yeast add character. There’s a slight warmth in the finish. Sweet, but interesting.

2006 Bottle. Slightly hazy light golden body with a medium creamy white head. Fruity, candi sugar aroma with light caramel. Very sweet caramel, with fruity notes, light apple and possibly pear and a bit more candi sugar, fairly dry finish, with light bitterness. Medium body with moderately carbonation.

From bottle, no 6 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy orange and with a lacing white head. Yeasty and almost dough like aroma. Slight citric. Flavour is sweet caramel malty and with a slight yeasty note, somewhat classic belgian triple yet light. Finish holds a continued soft yeasty and caramel flavour lingering into the finish with a bit of bitterness.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of KAggie97. Pours a hazy golden with a small, off-white head. Sweet aroma of fruit and yeast. Quite full-bodied with very sweet malt and fruit notes with a yeasty touch. Subdued bitterness. But in general a very well-balanced and harmonious Tripel. 301107
