Flying Dog Kerberos Tripel

Warm slightly sweet aroma, with hints of bannana, licorice, fruits and yeast. Hazy golden pour into a tulip. big belgian flavor with dark fruits, bread and more sweetness. The alcohol comes out slightly at the end and kinda lingers as ripe fruits really dominate on the palate. Not bad I like Flying dog more and more but it is hard to find to an american brewer that can pull off a triple. not even close to La Fin.......but none the less not bad.

From a 12 oz brown bottle, purchased a while ago at 3 sons dog and suds. Nice hazy pale yellow with sparkling streams of carbonation visibly apparent. On the bottom of the bottle is just enough sediment to make this a swirling hypnotizing experience. There are these flakes just hanging out randomly in my glass. Smell is just a tad fruity and acceptable. I remember the first time I had a tripel; tripel what? Well if it’s an American tripel you know what tripel is from the flavor but if it’s a Belgie tripel you may not find out until it hits you. The American uncivilized versions really do not stack up to the refined Belgie versions. This stuff is someplace in between those said versions of tripel. First taste is somewhat strong but not really offensive; it is very acceptable for an American tripel. Nope, not as reserved as the Belgies but, not as rude as the corrupt American imitation tripels. Barely any perceived carbonation, but there is this creamy thing going on between the tongue and the roof of the mouth. Taste is certainly Belgian tripel in nature, good job FD. Big bark of flavors, go piss on a fire hydrant; after a sniff or two. Big flavor bark but no dog bite. I found this American contemporary tripel rather acceptable all round. Dizzying in effect at times, without you knowing it. Isn’t that an attribute of a real Belgie tripel? Let’s go kick over an antique shovelhead. Finish is almost a Belgie tripel but not quite, taste is there but it lacks kindness. However, it hides its 8+% well. Approaches, but just can’t equal a real Belgie tripel. S6L4F2T4O10

Poured a hazy orange. Aroma was a bit of malt and some Belgian yeast smells, but with nothing really coming to the foreground. Flavor was pretty underwhelming too. Some malt, a little yeast flavor, but nothing really outstanding. Pretty mild beer actually. Smooth though.

Sampled Kerberos and for a Tripel named after a three headed hellhound I think it was missing some umph. Pale yellow body, micro lip of foam some spice, lemon peel, yeast and a need for a stronger malt presence.

hazy orange yellow pour, no head aroma is yeast and orange peel flavor is cloying sweetness, alcohol, with a finish of yeast the body is fine this beer is surprisingly poorly put together

Slightly hazed, amber/gold appearance with a small white head and little lacing. Yeasy aroma full of spices and tangy fruit. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel supports the sweetness. Additional flavors of yeast, herbal hops, peppery spices and a moderate alcohol burn. Lingering, spicy finish.

Bought at Liquor Stop in Highland, IN. Flying Dog strikes me as an iffy brewer, sometimes on target, other times... Well, this is an other time. Not a bad look, a golden body with a short bubbly head. The aroma, however, is akin to a sweet nail polish. The taste is sweet pale malt, alcohol, and a suggestion of fruit. It finishes on an odd, bitter alcohol note. Eh?

In the 4-pack from Beertopia. Pours a very very dark gold with no head and no carbonation. Mild lemon and yeasty aroma. Flavor is far too sickly sweet to enjoy. This is one dog that won’t hunt. No thank you.
