Pike Monks Uncle Tripel Ale

Brewed by Pike Pub & Brewery
Style: Abbey Tripel
Seattle, Washington USA

Picked up a single 22-oz bomber from Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington. Pours a semi-hazy golden amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a white ring and some lacing. Aroma of multi-grain malt, some alcohol, candi sugar and some bubblegum. Taste is thick, near full bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of multi-grain and wheat malt, candi sugar, some Belgian yeast and a touch of honey. Finish is semi-sweet at first and then an aftertaste of a dry multi-grain flavor.

A strong beer, but not harsh tasting. Spicy and fruity, with a nice bitterness. If I didn’t know it was brewed in Seattle I would have been convinced that it was Belgian.

Thanks to Skyview. Gold color with no head. Honey and grain aroma. Lots of wheat and grain in the flavor. Dry finish.

Thanks to skyview for this brew. Grainy nose on this yellow beer. Lightly spiced body with plenty of alcohol cutting through. Very sweet.

Another from Skyview. The aroma has alcohol and herbs. This is a lightly spiced tripel.Sweet flavor with more light spices as well as sugar. Quite sweet, and the alcohol is present in the flavor.

(bottle, thanks Skyview) Pours a light gold with a white head. Spicy aroma of clove and coriander with some sweet fruity undertones in there. Taste is very spicy with predominately coriander with a yeasty finish.

[Bottle, thanks Skyview] Pours light amber with a very small white head. Aroma is mainly fruity. Taste is a little bitter, then maybe a little apple? and some spice. Very thin mouthfeel.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a transparent uncarbonated golden brown colored body and a good lacing. The weak aroma was malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a strong aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of hops and vinous. A decent one that I would consider buying again.
