Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/03/2015

Appearance:

Slightly hazy, coppery amber with retentive thick ivory white head.

Aroma:

Tropical fruit, freshly baked bread with pine, mild Christmassy spice and yeast.

Taste:

Malty and bready with tropical fruit and overripe banana, piney hops, light black pepper and oak.

Aftertaste:

Long bready finish with overripe banana and black pepper spice. Overall: A good New World rendition of a Belgium triple with backs of fruit and a deceptively high alcohol content.
