Locavore Lindy Tripel

Bottle - lightly hazy dark gold - nose is yeasty, spicy, moderately estery - soft carbonation - flavor is medium sweet, but then dries out him the finish, which has a moderate bitterness and lively peppery spice - light minerality - moderate fruity esters and a floral bitterness throughout that is complimented by the peppery phenols at the end - those threaten to become too much on the tail end, but avoid getting abrasive - just a tad too sweet, but otherwise a solid rendition.

Taster at Trail's End. Pours a clear, pale, gold color, with a thin, off-white head. The aroma is lots of banana esters, honeydew, sugar cane, grapefruit, and rye. Sweet and phenolic, with a sticky bitterness. Medium body, with a slick, acidic mouthfeel. This is an overly yeasty and abrasive tripel.
