Vigorously full-bodied Belgian tripel/ American India Pale Ale hybrid (with exceedingly viscous copper clouding) benefits from frenzied floral fruiting, aggressive herbal spicing and zesty lemon juicing. Well-balanced attack less bitter and more sweet than most hop-headed IPA’s. Candi-sugared apple-peach-pear conflux, tropical melon-honeydew-cantaloupe-pineapple tang and chewy caramel malting overload stiff ethanol bite. Refreshing basil-mint accent provides unique divergence.

CRICKET HILL TRAPPIST I.P.A.
Chewy Belgo-American India Pale Ale retains musty Belgian yeast funk, lactic brown chocolate creaminess and black-peppered dried fruiting. Prune, raisin and fig illusions thicken multi-grain breading above reedy hop resin. A hint of bourbon and a snip of crème de cocoa found at coarsened chocolate-spiced finish.
