About
Drinking the same beer every time is like eating nothing but macaroni and cheese – mac and cheese is great, but only kids want to eat the same food every meal. Eventually a person’s tastes grow up, and they start to pay attention to other flavors, to other recipes, and they start to notice the difference between food that’s just the same old food, and meals cooked on purpose, with different subtleties, ingredients, and back stories.
Triton brews several different kinds of beer, and we hope our beers will become your favorites. But we don’t want you to only drink one of our beer styles, or to only drink Triton, for that matter. We want you to be a beer lover – someone who pays attention to nuanced flavors, who appreciates a great recipe, and who can tell a good story about the beers you love.
100% of Triton Brewing Company’s spent grain goes to local farms to be used as feed for cattle and poultry!

Location: 12 oz bottle via trade with Andy, thanks bud!, 3/25/14
Aroma: The nose is heavy spice, gingerbread, caramel, and a little roast
Appearance: It pours a brown color with a slight red hue, a beige head, and some light lace
Flavor: The taste thins out quite a bit, spice, sourdough bread, and a little yeast
Palate: The body is light, it is thin/watery on the mouth, with a dry, spicy finish
Overall Impression: Well, the nose it nice, I'm not really sure what happens from there, but something clearly went wrong here. For me, this beer is thin and this beer is a miss.

bottle - Pours hazy, bubbly yellow with a one finger lingering white head. There’s a lightly fruity aroma with some sourness. The flavor has some bitterness but is overwhelmed by the watery funky effect of infection. Blech. It’s yet another infected Triton bottle. That’s my third from them... all different beer styles.

bottle - Pours amber-brown with a light tan rapidly fading head. It has a sour caramel malt smell. The flavor has some sweet malt and a whole lot of off sour taste. Yes, it’s yet another infected bottle of Triton beer. It’s probably fine on tap. They make rather good beer, but obviously have major bottling problems.

tap - Pours dark amber with a lingering light tan, lacing head. It has a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor is sweet caramel malt up front leading into well balanced hops with a slight hint of citrus. It’s moderately bitter and medium bodied with some mild bitterness in the finish. Pretty good.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Andy, 1/19/14
Aroma: The nose is citrus and pine hops, some caramel as well, leans sweet
Appearance: It pours a bright copper-red color with a frothy beige head and plenty of lace
Flavor: It is mid-sweet and mid-bitter up-front, the sweetness fades into a more bitter finish
Palate: This one is medium bodied, leaning light, has a nice mouthfeel, and a long, dry finish
Overall Impression: Thanks Andy! I like this one. It starts as a balanced IPA in the front palate, but it turns much more bitter through the finish, which makes for an enjoyable flavor throughout.

12 oz. bottle from Fletche00. Pours a nice straw color with a big, pillowy, off-white head. The lacing is thick and persistent. Smells of damp hay, cilantro, pine, and just a hint of lemons, and maybe some bubblegum or bananas, if you’re really searching for them. Lightly bitter and a little funky and sour. Only a touch of grainy sweetness. Medium body, sticky, astringent, a little harsh. Overall, this is an unfortunate hoppy wheat ale. The bittering hops overwhelm what should be subtle wheat notes, leaving something more akin to an overhopped pilsener or mediocre pale ale. This leaves a lot to be desired.

Bottle: Pours dark brown/red with a small tan cap. Aroma is cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread. Taste is malt, nutmeg, baked bread. Thin....tingly carbonated. Like a pumpkin ale without the pumpkin. Ok, but not memorable.

Draft. From notes. Caramel and hay with a little citrus hops. Drinkable, but nothing super special.

bottle - Lightly hazy amber-orange poor with a minimal off-white head. The aroma is of very tart citrus. Uh oh. The flavor is tart with some off tasting bitterness and subdued malt sweetness. I passed on rating the first bottle I had of this beer a couple months ago as it was clearly infected. Later I bought this bottle. I really don’t think this is supposed to be a sour ale. Infected. Again. It could be worse but not by much. Thin. Tart in a really bad way. Bleh.

12oz Bottle via trade. Pours out a dark gold topped with a off white head. Aroma is nice sweet caramel, citrus, and some light floral notes. Taste is just a little caramel, light hops, with a light bitter end. The nose would lead you to think this was going to be pretty tasty, but it was a little bit of a let down.
