On tap at Blue Ribbon Tavern, imposing Belgian tripel tosses buttery Chardonnay wining at white-peppered tropical spicing, expressive Citra hop spritz and gluey vodka-like solvency. Ripe cantaloupe, honeydew, apricot, pineapple, mango and tangerine fruiting contrasts acrid aspirin-like astringency and salted lemon pith bittering. Banana daiquiri illusions sweeten the malt-sugared honeyed wheat spine.
