Flying Dog Kerberos Tripel

2008 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Hazy gold with a small off-white head. Aroma is of corn, light fruit, grain, and yeast. Taste is of malt, grain, corn, and yeast.

A hazy golden beer with a small white head that doesn’t last. A sweet aroma of light fruit, belgian yeast, and an earthy hay smell. Flavor is a bready malt with some peppery spicy notes and some yeast and alcohol. Mouthfeel is surprisingly thick and chewy, considering my above description. Hey, I am not a huge belgian fan, but you put this next to westmalle and I’m not sure I’d have a clear favorite. Massively under-rated by trappist snobs, in my opinion!

bottle thanks to bu11zeye, yellow in color withno head, aroma of fruit and band aids, flavor is a corny sweet grain and sugar

2008 Bottle provided by bu11zeye. Pours with a small, white head that vanishes over a golden body. Aroma of of pear, coriander and candi sugar. Taste is candi sugar, dried fruits and a few spices. Very lively carbonation. Nothing too complex about this tripel.

A truly unremarkable Belgian Tripel. Fits into the style okay, but not very interesting.

In a bottle from a mixpack (!). Extremely disappointing; odd flavour and lack of body followed by an undisguised alcohol finish. Avoid.

7 oz nip bottle, a gift from my friend Ryan, Nose of yeast, candi sugar, and light cloves and bubblegum. Bright clear, yellow gold with a medium white head. Flavor has light sweetness, some spiciness, and light bitterness in the background. Not nearly a good tripel, but i could drink it as their are no bad flavors or odors coming through.

I find this pretty disappointing--flying dog seems to have gone downhill in my book. Tripels are one of my favorites, but I won’t drink this one again. Lots of carbonation but almost no head. The flavor has a good bit of cardboard to it, with a thin body. Some sweet malt in the finish, but not enough to really make it good.
