On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Lots of juniper giving this a big gin-like herbal nature. Plenty of botanicals! Lemon, coriander, thyme, juniper. Some bready yeast notes. Really very nice.

Batch 1 and batch 2 tasted side by side, courtesy of Greig and Alex, thanks! Both are clear dark ruby amber color, and batch 1 is much more lively. Both have a nice aroma of subtle smoke and crispy burnt wood. Batch 1 has a sweeter taste, but both are nice balanced, subtle and smooth. Very tasty.

Bottle from Hamilton Wine. I tasted this one after a meal made with Fire Dragon Chillies’ Dragons Fury sauce, so I’ll have to taste it again when mybtaste buds aren’t screaming and writhing in pain. Pours clear golden yellow with a thick and fluffy white head with good retention. Aroma of sweet straw, subtle lemon and light spice. Taste is also on the sweet side with a bit of light spice and some booze peeking through. A decent enough tripel variant.
