This beer is an American adaptation to the classic Belgian style of beer known as a Tripel. Historically Tripels were brewed to have a very light golden color, a moderate hop presence, and be around 9% alcohol. But we are not in Belgium, so I decided to crank up the hops, dry hop the beer with American Amarillo hops, and brew it to 10% ABV. This is our American Tripel, enjoy.
Sensory Profile:
Enjoy in a goblet or wine glass.
Tropical fruit and honey are the two biggest aromas coming from this lively brew. While the hop bitterness is not as powerful as an IPA, the hop flavor melds nicely with the fruity flavors created by the imported Belgian yeast strain used.
Food Pairing: This beer goes great with roasted vegetables, fish and rotisserie chicken. And it can be used as a aperitif before dinner with shrimp cocktail.

Tap at Barcade - I tried this not long after I sampled the liquid gold at another bar, and I was suprised at how similar it was - very spicy, floral hop aroma, with notes of vanilla and honey - overly sweet flavor, almost balanced out by some white pepper and light spices, but not quite - a honey-sweet quality overtakes the other subtle flavors, becoming more dominant with every sip - a nice attempt, however.
