2013 has been a big year for us. We’ve gone to Sweden, Australia, Germany and Japan, won awards, been to festivals, threw some parties, and put our beer on tap and in fridges across London, the UK and heck, the world.
We’ve kitted out the brewhouse with awesome new equipment – new tanks, a canning line, a hop gun and expanded our range of beers to include Gentlman’s Wit in bottle, Hells Lager in can, the Versus series and a whole load of other special and one-off brews like Redlight Waltz, Alsace Alt and Pete vs. the World. We’ve also grown in number, with lots of new team members joining us in our (now a little cramped) railway arches.
So after all that… we needed a drink. Enter Beer 2013, the first in a new series of yearly beers. It’s our Camden take on a Belgian Tripel. Very pale, unfiltered, dry and strong. A modern interpretation of a classic, in an edition of just 1800 bottles, designed by our friends Crispin Finn. 8.8% ABV, brewed with pilsner malt, hopped with Styrian Golding and Czech Saaz and containing the secret (and Christmassy) ingredient of Belgian candi sugar syrup, Beer 2013 Tripel will be available to buy from mid December in big 750ml bottles and to drink on draft at the Brewery Bar. Cheers!

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with bread, tropical fruit, peaches, ripe pears, honey and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, peaches, pears, honey, marzipan, bread, a touch of caramel and a gentle grassy, floral bitterness in a warming finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced tripel. Nice one.

Flaske (thanks, Steve!), delt med skibsreder Ovesen 17.5.: gylden, lett uklar og med flott hvitt skum som varer. Nydelig balansert aroma - sitrus, lavendel og fersken. Mm, sukker Ovesen salig i det jeg skjenker ham noen flere gylden dråper. So smooth, fersken, aprikos og milde appelsiner. Ingenting klebrig ved denne trippelen. Et blinkskudd rett og slett.

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 17.05.15 Clear, pale golden. Persistent, bright head and lacing. Superb and balanced aroma of sweet tropical fruits and succade. Similar, and equally superb taste. Well-balanced and complex at the same time. As good as a tripel can possibly be.

Taste is fruity, yeasty, slightly bready malty, notes of peach and apricot, a mild peppery yeasty touch, dry, minimally grassy hoppy overtones. Nice.

Flaska från SB som nu blivit ca 1,5 år. Har mognat riktigt fint. Relativt stiltypisk belgisk trippel, söta äpllen och lite estriga frukter, jäst, äppelsinskalsbeska, torrare avslutning. Väldigt elegant, spritsig,komplexo ch nyanserad. Ingen sötma eller alkohol som sticker ut. Riktigt bra.

Lightly hazy gold beer, big fluffy white head. Palate is airy, semi dry and crispy. Sweetish malt with light fluffy cream. Spice. Brandy alcohol, Sweet floralness. Mildly citric dried fruits and crystallised fruits. Light semi dry finish. Floral malty linger. Pleasant and drinkable and slightly different from most other tripels.
