COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For the third scratch beer, we delved into our old Belgian notes and decided to go big for a nice warming feeling when you drink this beer,” says John Trogner. “This unfiltered golden ale is 10.1% abv. It is spicy and quite dry with a hint of noble hops. The yeast is the real flavor in this beer and we used a different yeast strain than we use for The Mad Elf. This yeast creates that drier taste.

KSBF07 Poured a golden color aroma was all grassy hops. Flavor was banana grass, missed the spices i was looking for though. Not bad but nothing amazing.

Draft at KSBF07. Pour was well-carbonated cloudy golden appearance. The aroma was firm grassy hop presence over top of the usual fruity-banana ester, phenolic-clovey spice combo. The flavor was sharply clove-like phenols, some bananas, finishing with some grassy character. It seemed like a cranked up version of their hefeweizen. Desired more spicey zing.

12 oz. bottle via trade with jasonmech77 - Pours a hazy light golden color with a thin white head that faded pretty quick. Has a big bread and veggie aroma. Flavor is grain and esters. Medium body. The alcohol kicks in toward the finish. Would have never guessed it was an Abbey Tripel. Still, a decent beer. Thanks Jason.

12 oz bottle shared by dickinsonbeer. very hazy light golden in color. Aroma is pretty yeasty with some must, spices, light citrus and banana- very nice. Taste is somewhat sweet, yet very yeast driven- musty, spices, bready with sugary notes as well as pils malt and citrus fruit. Finishes bready, spicy, and lightly sweet.
