Description
Located in a former roadside speakeasy on US Route 50 heading west into the city of Cincinnati, Fifty West Brewing Company first opened its doors in November of 2012. Since then, one thing has remained the same. Every time you have a Fifty West beer, you know it was handmade in small batches with a focus on the four virtues we hold closest to our hearts: craftsmanship, tradition, innovation, and patience.

Bottle (courtesy of Phaleslu). Barnyard, light pepper, rock candy, and toffee malt aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Funky lightly sweet vanilla, rock candy, biscuit malt and moderately bitter herbal lemon peel flavor. Very nice - not a typical Tripel.
