A monster of a beer. Huge yeast, hop and alcohol combine in an intimidatingly sublime version of a classic Belgian Tripel. This is a collaboration beer between The Australian Brewery, Chur Brewing Co (aka Behemoth Brewing Co in NZ) and Beer & Brewer magazine.

Can. Hazy pale gold with a white scant rim and island head. 3 Aroma of dough, spices bitter orange, gooseberry, dough, cloves and white pepper. Piercing. Light bodied for 10.5% - even for 7%. Moderate to low carbonation. Lots of fruit and spices - the citrus, dough and spices are the main game, but some tropical and kiwi fruity notes fit in there too. Some pine too. Not all that sweet and what sweetness there is is rather sugary. Alcohol is not overt. Strong bitter finish. Expected this to be loud and trashy but it’s maybe more focused on fruity things than it wants to be. Thought this might be a mire crass, but not at all. Pretty good.

From a 375ml can on 11/7/2016. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a small head. The aroma features sweet fruit, orange zest, mild Belgian yeast and a touch of spice. Sweet fruit (pear, peach and orange) get things under way taste wise, followed by some light spice and yeast, a bit of lemon and grapefruit, finished off by some pretty big hops. Really nicely balanced and exceptionally refreshing for something that weighs in at 10.5%. The palate is slightly syrupy and the carbonation is average. A really well made, interesting tripel.
