Fortitude

Tap at Vine Street - I found this one overly sweet, but perhaps this is because I had it right after a rather dry beer - still, this did not surprise me; this is an American-made tripel after all - a lot of phenols (bubblegum, banana, etc.) and esters from the yeast, without any counterpoint (bitterness, please) makes this a rather one-dimensional tripel - ends with some clove, and a light acidity finally emerges, but a bit too late - eh, not too bad I guess.
