Dapper gold-hazed tripel counters dry Saaz hop bittering with basking candi-sugared peach, melon and curacao orange luster. Sweet banana-clove-coriander flurry sours to delicately vinous grape finish. Lively floral-spiced herbs caress thin breaded yeast bed.

MAREDSOUS TRIPLE ALE (10 DEGREES)
Opulent candi-sugared fig entry receives caramel-creamed vanilla resonance, peppery banana-clove recession and orange-soured pineapple tang. Molded bread lurk, wet grass murk and cork-y acridity pick up dried peach-apricot fruiting at musky midst, turning a tad phenolic by citric-tart Chardonnay finish. A re-fermented, alcohol-fueled, ultra-smooth medium body.
UNIBROUE LA FIN DU MONDE ALE
Flamboyant triple fermentation creates cloudy yeast-thickened cluster for venerable Belgian-styled white ale. Orange-peeled clove-coriander spicing invigorates beguiling barleywine subtlety snuggling hazy floral-hopped fungi-molded perfumed yeast. Soft and billowy for light-hearted drinkers, but manly, yes.
WEYERBACHER MERRY MONK’S BELGIAN STYLE GOLDEN ALE
Exquisitely fruited Belgian-styled strong ale is truly ambitious. Creamy caramel malting contrasts charitable peppery hop bittering and fungi yeast funk, beckoning veritable Grand Marnier mouthfeel. Floral aromatics hover above perky seltzer-fizzed coriander-clove seasoning and soured plum-prune visage. Midrange bruised orange tang surpasses dainty banana, nectar, elderberry, and quince quirks.
BLUEGRASS MEPHISTOPHELES METAMORPHOSIS
Nowhere near as complex as its academic-bound moniker, but this strong wheat-backed Belgian-styled ale nicely integrates wafting orange compote entry with dry herbal peppering. Setback apple, peach, nectarine, and plantain illusions receive minor candi-sugared sweetness, but metallic phenol spicing disrupts fruited nature.
GRIMBERGEN TRIPLE AMBER ABBEY ALE
MIDDLE AGES TRIPEL CROWN ALE
URTHEL HIBERNUS QUENTUM
Foremost floral hops lace embittered grapefruit-orange tang of astringent alcohol-stricken white-headed straw-hued medium-bodied tripel. Black pepper speckles clove-coriander-cinnamon spicing, sourdough seduction, and herbaceous whim, but predictable brown sugared finish sags compared to finer Belgians.
