 5000 (2400), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
Jan 1, 2008 Bottle: Dark straw, dirty in shade, very hazy/cloudy, large rocky white head, clumpy lacing, robust carbonation. Bready nose,
some straw, hints of citrus, melon, and flora. Bright breadiness on the tongue, warming but not overly alcoholic. Not getting
much of the fruity aspect on the tongue. Yeah, quite warming. No indication on the bottle of its ABV, but I suspect that its at
least 8%. Moderate to full body and mouthfeel. Bready finish, clean, minor floral notes. Pretty standard, but also well
built. Could stand to be a bit more fruity/floral, otherwise pretty tasty. Thanks to Matt Long of Big Sky for providing
the bottle!
DA (2280), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA
Dec 3, 2007 Bottled in a growler from the brewery. Pours cloudy orange with a fizzy white head. Citrus and spice in the nose. Crisp tripel, very fruity with banana esters that mix with the citrus in the finish. A bit of excess alcohol shows, so its hot on the palate, although i’m not sure on the ABV of this. Very yeasty aftertaste, quite a big still in suspension even after letting the growler chill in the fridge overnight.
