Brewer: River Horse Brewing Company (New Jersey, USA)
Beer: Tripel Horse
Style: Abbey Tripel
abv: 10%
Background: Bottle from the store. My first go with these River Horse guys.
Appearance: Pours honey-gold with a large-bubbled, one-finger head and some nice effervescence. A larger and smoother head would be better.
Aroma: Very earthy, with banana, Belgian spices, and a hint of apple. Some citrus and vanilla. Has a little bit of a Biére de Garde feel to it.
Flavor: Sweet flavor, with some hop bite and a peach and honey aftertaste. Very well-balanced; nothing overpowers the palate. Alcohol is well-hidden.
Notes: A pleasant surprise. Not overly spicy like Victory’s Golden Monkey. Mouthfeel is a tad thin.
Rating: 3.9 out of 5
