Flying Dog Kerberos Tripel

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: Abbey Tripel
Frederick, Maryland USA

Poured a golden color with thin head. Aroma of yeast and spice. Flavor had clove, orange peel, yeast, and a mild dry and bitter finish. The flavors were there, but just not enough.

Medium white head. Deep yellow hazy body. Alcoholic yeasty bready aroma with resiny notes. Dry resiny mealy honey taste with citric bready notes. Mid-bodied. Dry medicinal resiny aftertaste with floral soft metallic notes. It’s not bad, but lacking in character. (0.355l bottle from hcalsos.)

Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a spare, fizzy, white head, diminishing with no lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, hay, cookie), average hop (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (earth, horse blanket) with notes of alcohol, pear, peach, apple, and butter. Full bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and an astringent-dry finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

7 oz bottle. Pours yellow with thin white head. Nose is spices, yeast and sweet malt. Flavor is a sweet malts, spicy yeast, bread, clove, vanilla and cinnamon. Medium body.

A a clear pale golden color with a qucikly fading white head. Aroma had some banana and bread notes to it. Flavor was mostly sweet with a mix of cane and fruits. A little light on the body for this style. Finish was lightly carbonated.

Pours a very deep golden color with no head and it has almost no carbonation. Aroma is a heavy grainy pilsner malt, lots of candy sweetness, lots of alcohol and a light spicy, floral hop note. Flavor is strong of alcohol first and moves into a sweet almost apple flavor, light hops spiciness and light yeasty notes towards the end. Feel of the beer is okay but miss the high carbonation generally found in the style. Overall the brew fit the style in an alright manner but the lack of carbonation really makes this a low end triple in my opinion. Flavors and aromas are there but just don’t seem as rich and may be a bit young thus requiring some aging to get the full flavors the brewer is looking for.

cloudy yellow pour. quickly dissipating white head. First tripel i have had so this may be adjusted later. Right now this is a very decent beer with fruit flavors, little bit of bread, and a sweet finish and aftertaste. decent mouth feel.

12oz bonus from a ways back drinking it after a cellar cleaning. Pours orange with a tan ring. Nose is sweet. Taste is decent, but all in all not a great tripel.
