RIVER HORSE TRIPEL HORSE

Abstruse puffy-headed gold-hazed Belgian-styled medium body belies sweet-tart summer ale fruiting with wintry pine hop peppering. Initial dry white grape souring supplements banana breaded lemon pie illusions. Ensued candi-sugared vanilla midst preps tropical pineapple-papaya-peach latency and gaunt apricot-orange misting. On tap, white-peppered citric fruiting secured top spot above funky Belgian candied yeast and creamy caramelized crystal malting.

ACHEL TRAPPIST TRIPLE

Interesting pale-bodied hybrid unintentionally closer to phenol German weissbier than moderate-bodied Belgian Trappist Ale. Floral yeast nose suits honeyed wheat sweetness. Candied orange-tangerine tang spruces up spicy clove backdrop. Beige sediment dots thick viscosity for impairing relaxant aimed at light-heavyweights and up.

WEYERBACHER PROPHESY

Abstruse oak-aged Belgian-styled tripel opens like a vinous Chardonnay, sprinkling green-skinned white-wined esters atop white-peppered bittering and tart apple sourness. Cotton-candied cherry-melon-banana flange picks up raw-honeyed whiskey-soured prominence. At finish, zesty lemon pucker, vanilla puree tease, and wispy bourbon nip fight for space.

(DE RANKE) GULDENBERG ABBEY TRIPEL

$10 for 1-pint 9-oz. bottle of fluffy ivory-headed alcohol-soaked blonde wrapped in white bag w/ blue stripes. Pour slowly thick resinous pale yellow fluid or explosive carbonation will overwhelm immediate lemon-peeled apple blast to sour grape finish. Peppery floral-hopped mandarin orange sidles vinous white grape tannins and red grapefruit rind subtlety. On tap at Growler & Gill, sweet honeyed malts and herbal citric spicing picked up pleasing cellar-like fungi yeast mossing.
