Bottle at Inspire, Coventry, 22/04/15. Clear golden with a decent off white cap that retains well. Nose is bubblegum, yeast esters, candied fruit peel, juicy citricana, hop notes. Taste comprises more candied fruit rinds, peach, apricot, light spice, Belgian yeast esters, juicy hops. Medium body, fine carbonation, light booze streak in a hopped up finale. Solid tripel, way more hop presence than a ’trad’ one but creates a good bitter sweet balance so drinking never becomes a chore.

Bottle. Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Slow gusher, which wasn’t expected! Lear, dark red. Loads of lumps. Thin, bubbly, tan head. Mild malts. Cherry stone. Light roast. Taste is woody, and ashy dry. Thin palate. Too much fizz. Finishes fruity dry.

Persistent slow gusher. Hazy amber beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry, good fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, a little rye spice. Soap! Light marmalade and citrus on the back end as well some emerging malt cream sweetness. Finishes light. Would be good if not for the infected soapy note. Second infected bottle on the trot from this brewer. Not impressed.
