good clean beer some clove and banana esters. A bit of candy sugar sweetness. a bit of alcohol heat and nice yeast notes. White fruit notes almost saunignon Balnc in character.

Tap at the brewery. pretty golden color with a white head that laces well. Spice and fruit nose. Pink grapefruit and ripe melon. The taste, unfortunately isn’t as good. First taste is dishwater with hops, a faint amount of malt and alcohol burning in my chest. Weak palate. Disappointing.

Sweet candi aroma. Nice amber color. No head. Medium body with very mild carbonation. Flavor is rather sweet - not caramel though - candi and pale malt? Leaves the mouth peppery/tingly. Finish is drier than expected. Hop was light.

Coppery colour, and i too detected the spice which is blended in well in the beer, but comes up casually. Medium sized white head, not as heavy as i wouldve expected, and a little creamier as well.

Poured with a short white head. Straightforward example of a Belgian Tripel. Fruity and spicy, with a floral and hoppy feel.

A very drinkable, relatively unchallenging example of an American trippel, but that’s sometimes a good thing - not every Belgian needs to be Orval. This one has a nice bananna-clove character with very mild leatheriness. Goes down smooth and at 8% watch out baby. The best of the Brew It Up house beers.

Medium orange color. Medium white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and spicy. A medium bodied Belgian Strong Ale. Malts are fruity (orange and peaches). Spicy as expected, but missing some of the yeasty nature you would expect in a triple. The 10.5% alcohol is well hidden, but there is a touch of an alcohol bite. Very drinkable with a nice slight sweet fruity finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
