Tripel Belgian-Style Ale Brewed with Rice and Thai Basil
Our Summer seasonal, Trade Winds Tripel is a Belgian-style Golden Ale with a Southeast Asian twist. Instead of using candi sugar (typical for such a beer), we use rice in the mash to lighten the body and increase the gravity, and spice with Thai Basil. The result is an aromatic, digestible and complex beer made for a lazy summer evening.

I don’t drink much of this style so don’t turn this down based on my rating. I didn’t think the spices helped the overall flavor. IMHO, they were a negative.

Pours a nice dark straw from a bottle, thick white head. Sweet herbal aroma dissipates into a yeasty sweet basily wonder. Round, nearly oily mouthfeel. Pretty good beer.

Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours hazy golden with white head. Aroma of light bread, flowers, herbs, mint, lemon balm, fruity notes. Tastes pretty sweet with fruity sourness and a little bitterness. Medium bodied, fruity finish.

Serve from bottle. Aroma is floral, pepper and a sugary note. Aroma is a little hot pepper, lots of floral character. The citrus and spice coming from the Thai basil makes it feel more like a fairly nice saison rather than the surprise the label implies is coming. Still, quite nice.

Draft at the Bruery. Golden pour. Aroma of yeast, candi sugar and herbs. Taste has soft yeast, basil, peppery spices and some grain. Original brew.
