Citrus heavy tripel that comes off decent. Had a sip of this a week into detox. Cloudy gold with good head and lacing. Florals are pretty light here, overtaken by citrus. Not much coriander as well. Gets towards a citrusy pale ale with some Belgian yeast. Tap.

(Draught at Brydens, Sep 16 2013) Pours a very murky pale orange with a tiny white head and no lace. Aroma is interesting but restrained, a funky sweaty Brett character atop some pale malts, a little grainy with herbal undertones and a faint sweetness trying to come through, more tart than most tripel noses. Flavour doesn’t really bring the Brett in your face, however. Leads with pale malts, grainy, herbs, a faint yeasty sharpness that is more Brett in its absence of the typical banana/bubblegum/clove esters than it is actively funky, though it is rather tart. Coriander really builds in the middle of the beer along with grain, and a little malt sweetness trying to break through a sweaty horse blanket of sorts. Finishes with tons of coriander and grain, lightly bitter, a clingy sourness in the back of the mouth. Mouthfeel is pretty light for a tripel, and unfortunately overcarbed in typical GL fashion. I like this, but it’s not Bretty enough to be exciting, and mostly herbal. More Brett, Lackey!
