Description
Triggerfish Brewing is a Somerset West based craft brewery brewing the widest range beer styles in South Africa. We started brewing commercially in 2010, making us the second oldest craft brewery to be established in the greater Cape Town area.
We brew small batches with only the best available ingredients and enjoy designing classic examples of beer styles not commonly available in South Africa. As the craft beer industry grows we are introducing the odd style deviant or hybrid to keep things interesting.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber. Aroma is boozy, plums, toasted malts, sugars, sauerkraut. Body is heavy and strong, sweet and bitter and boozy, and well carbonated. Phenols and minerals and hops and pine and sugars. Not really Belgian, not really an IPA, but they are both there in a way. Works.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Paul. Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry and with decent carbonation. Soft and sweetish malts. Nice hop spice and pine. Touch of floralness before more spice and pine. Light citric peel. Smooth semi dry finish. Dunno what everyone else was drinking, I liked it!

Bottle picked up at Roeland Liquors, shared at level 42. It pours clear golden - amber with a medium off - white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, butterscotch, Werthers original, bread and toffee. The taste is dry, pretty bitter, pithy citrus, rather zesty, soapy, grassy, waxy peel, bit of butterscotch / toffeee in the background with lingering bitter - dry - zesty finish. Medium body and moderate foamy carbonation. Not so great.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Scoopey. Pours totally clear yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. The nose has a lot of butterscotch, white bread, dough, faint citrus. Medium sweet flavour with notes of maple syrup, pale bread, ample grassy bitterness, crispy pale malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more grassy hops, sugary pale malts, maple. So so.

Bottle shared on Level 42 14/11/2016. Many thanks to Scopey for this one. A light hazed golden dull orange coloured pour with a fading off white head. Aroma is big butterscotch, caramel, brown sugars, veg piney hop. Aged. Flavour is composed of sweet caramel, unrefined sugars, vanilla, worthers original. Tired woody piney hops with a little jammy fruits. Woody finish. Palate is medium sweet., moderate carbonation, flabby. Good stuff.

Bottle at Level 42, thanks to the Laird of Inverurie, 14/11/16. Golden amber with a moderate off white cap. Nose is Werthers Original but without grandads moustache hairs, orange peel, buttery, brioche. Taste comprises melon, orange pith, straw, bread dough, caramel, thankfully the buttery notes subside. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light hop bitterness. So so overall ... low end for style.

Thank you for sharing Yarric! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ "De grote Black Tuesday Tasting". Apparently insanely expensive, about € 30 !!!! Dark brown, little head. Nose is old pine resin, big caramel, overly sweet, coffee, awkward. Taste is pine resin, sugar, weird, coffee, dash mushroom, sugar, caramel, toffee,… Thick malty body. Hard to describe but very odd & I am not too crazy about this one.
