HAIR OF THE DOG ROSE

Fizzy bronze-hued bottle-conditioned Belgian-style Triple Ale with round pearly bubbles, suspended micro particles, and cloudy yoke-like viscosity drops earthy vegetative initiation into candied floral yeast sentiment. Honeyed pale malting and orange-bruised coriander-cinnamon zeal inform creamy vanilla register juxtaposing peppery hop bitterness at effervescent finish. Easy drinkin’ fare despite sharp alcohol burn and minor diacetyl souring.

(VANDENBOSSCHE) PATER LIEVEN TRIPEL ABBEY ALE

Incisive honeyed orange-nectarine-coriander melange enhances minor plum souring and cotton-candied coughdrop sweetness of gooey sediment-filled amber-hazed moderate body. Buttery effervescence penetrates impending fresh cut chaffed wheat and permissive clove-ginger-peppercorn seasoning, but disparaging dirty grain earthiness and watery fizz-hopped finish nullify up-front medicinal promise.

VICTORY GOLDEN MONKEY TRIPEL

Creamy Belgian-styled tripel mixes honeyed barleymalt affectation with compost-wafted white-peppered white-wined white ale character. Candi-sugared fig-dried rye wheat backdrop and pecan-almond snip deepened by herbal fungi. Moderate hop bitterness tucks away clove-ginger-nutmeg undertones and teensy coriander-anise adjunct before potent curacao orange finish gets serious alcohol jolt.

HANSJE DRINKER TRIPEL

Murky fruit-scented bottle-conditioned amber-hazed Dutch ale knocks off a fruitful floral-hopped Belgian Abbey succinctly. Perfumed yeast sweetness matches silken butterscotch thrust while lemony curacao orange tartness and red apricot ripeness tingle coriander spicing. Nice alcohol buzz simmered by clean water smoothness.
