COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
You are holding the inaugural release in a multi-year brewing experiment-to brew a series of beers as diverse as the great state of New Jersey. Our theme is the state-long artery that connects us. Each beer will focus on the unique aspect of an individual exit, whether an ingredient or event. The journey begins at Exit 4- right up the street from the Flying Fish brewery. As one of the first craft brewers to embrace Belgian-style beers, we’ve chosen to start with a Belgian trippel, finished with plenty of American hops. Note the hazy golden hue and the aroma of citrus with hints of banana and clove. Then taste the Belgian malt flavors and a subdued bitterness in the finish. Bottle conditioned, this beer will develop as it ages. Enjoy.

Somebody said gimme hops in my tripel and damn did they do it something lovely. A damp floral earthy hop aroma dominates with just a touch of bright tangerine to liven it up. The flavor is wooly and full of mineral tang. With all that earth and just the finish showing the the citrus hoppiness, this might of been a bit dry if not for the full, round, summer corn sweetness on the top of the palate. Really nice beer that seems like more of a belgian ale to me than a tripel, but regardless of any constraints, this is GOOD BEER. Thank you Flying Fish. 2011 12 oz.

Pours from a bottle a very light golden with small bubbles, but lively carbonation. Moderate head that lingers. Light caramel flavor with resinous hops. Fairly boozy. May have some hints of raisin. Medium bodies with a slightly sticky on the palate. Has some good features to it, but I think the alcohol is very prominent.

Pours a clear gold with barest of white heads. Smells of banana, hint of clove. Tastes sweet with a bit of sour, mild bitterness. Primarily malty.

bkurtz (461) - PERU - JAN 29, 2012
Poured a hazy yellow with a smallish head for a triple. Nice herb/clove/citrus aromas with the flavor of a hopped-up Belgian Triple with more bitterness than expected. I liked it, but seemed to lack balance

pours a hazy citrus orange. Aroma is fresh and floral and the flavor is a bit herbal.

Shared bottle with Timfoolery. Was a little more hoppy than expected from an abbey trippel. Overall a pretty good beer,

Bottle from Total Wine. This one was less of a Belgian, more of a Belgian IPA. Very well made and enjoyable beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - DEC 27, 2011
12 ounce bottle from Ye Old Spirit Shop in Frederick, MD. Pours a clear dark golden color with floating particles. Thin white head. Average head retention. Aroma of bread, yeast, apples, spice, citrus, butterscotch, caramel. The taste is tart bready notes, apples, citrus, toast, caramel, candi sugar. Medium bodied. Solid.
