Belgian Style Tripel
We love our Brewer Fernando... so we challenged (tortured) him to brew a beer using 3 troublesome grains. Locally grown Einkorn, Rye and Hard Red Wheat combine in this Trappist-inspred strong Ale with a generous hop character and complex malt base of toasty, earthy and spicy notes.

Shared at Valhalla tasting. Med-thin bod, med-high carbo. Med-light bitter, light sweet. Light warmth, kinda elegant. Med-light apples, green mostly, light red. Light clovey spiciness. Overall... well, a textbook tripel, which means I dont like it. Fair game tho.

Can, thx Adam V.! Unusual aroma, mango, esters, bit corky, sweetish. Smooth taste, mango bubblegum, creamy, coriandery notes, herbal, bitterish, somewhat juicy even, solid alcohol presence. Just barely avoids being rubbery. Unusual, fun, likable. Strictly style-wise it would score low, but I kinda liked it in its weirdness.

473mL can. Pours almost clear blonde with large white head. Aroma has armpits and damp, floral estery notes. Flavour has haphazard Belgian yeast expression, quite floral, some spiciness from the yeast. Pretty clumsy, not the most offensive local Belgian style.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has estery notes, light floral notes, and light spiciness. Flavour is sweet and estery, with too much sweetness, floral notes, and cotton candy. Standard estery North American tripel οΏ½ yeast isnοΏ½t used properly, etc. Not good.
