The color is a pale yellow gold. The liquid is quite cloudy. Medium white head. The pile of foam lasts for some time. A little bit of lacing. Nice big aroma of dusty, funky brett with some fruitiness and a fresh, spicy grain background. Bright, light fruit, mostly apricots and grapes. Mild cheesiness. Rye and pepper spice. Brett and rye on the palate. Quite dry. Pleasant grain spice and light sweetness. Moderate to medium bitterness. Big dusty brett. Mildly tart. Not really sour but there’s a light fruity tartness, green apples or under ripe stone fruit. Mouthfeel is light and refreshing. Starts a bit prickly but that gives way to a creamy fullness after it settles. Really nice brett-forward beer. I’m kinda surprised it and will have to pick up some more Monkish bottles when I get a chance.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy yellow gold with s slight white head. Fruity/yeasty/lightly spicy aroma. Med body or nearly. Flavor is somewhat pepper with suggestions of banana ester. Possibly some citrus. Maybe even a little tart pineapple? It’s dry, but suggestions of sweet fruit keep coming up. Pretty nice.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very dark orange/amber with a 3 finger off-white Guinness head. Aroma is fruity/peppery. Med body or better. Flavor is nicely darkish malt with a little dark fruit and more pepper. It’s not very hot, but certainly spicy. Quite nice. Finishes towards dry. Not bitter.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours bright gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is earthy/floral with yeast. Med body. Seems a little wheaty? Flavor is sort of earthy/floral saison. Odd flavor notes. But it all works well together. Finishes tasty, bitter, hoppy.

Capped 750 from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours sort of copper blush with a transient white head. Aroma is malt and floral. Med body. Flavor is somewhat malty with floral going somewhat citrus. Not getting much Belgian yeast/spice/fruity ester. It’s drinkable, but for me the malt is a bit much. I’d never have thought this was a tripel in a blind test.

On tap at the source. Clear golden hued pour with a moderate white head. Aromas are spicy and floral with a medium malt character, somewhat hoppy, clean. Flavors are clean, soft malt up front, floral medium hoppy character with a rather strong (a bit too assertive) bitterness in the finish. Fuller carbonation, medium bodied. Tasty.
