The Daily Beer

Petrus Gouden Tripel Ale

Triple Voodoo Inception

It's day 17 of 2012, and so far, so good... I've managed to try a new beer every every day. It's been harder than I thought though and last week, being my birthday and all, I had a hard time finding the time to write about it.

Today I'm drinking a Triple Voodoo Inception Belgian style Tripel from San Francisco.

Serving type: 750ml bottle.
Style: Belgian Style Tripel, 8.0% ABV.

Appearance: Hazy golden copper in color, with a light bodied whitish head that receded almost instantly with no lacing.

Aroma: lots of caramel and piny and grassy hops.

Taste: although the nose would say sweet and it starts with caramel, the bitterness of the hops quickly take over. No alcohol flavor at all.

Mouthfeel: very soft carbonation, medium bodied, almost syrupy like.

Overall: a good local tripel but there are others out there I'd prefer over this one.

La Fin du Monde Tripel

WOOOOOOWWWW!

Allagash Tripel

Yesterday I had a Dubbel, and today I tried the Tripel from Allagash. Tomorrow I'll have the Quad. 

Service type: 750ml bottle.
Style: Belgian Tripel Ale, 9.00% ABV.

Appearance: Hazy golden pour with a medium bodied white head with no lacing.

Aroma: Spicy citrus with honey and belgian yeast.

Taste: Definitiely follows aroma. Very crisp and fresh lemony finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with little carbonation.

Overall: I definitelly liked this one better than the Dubbel... I'm really excited about tomorrow's Quad. If Allagash is putting more and more thought and detail the more times they ferment their beer it should be a glad experience.
