In this beer blog, we are going to get into another beer from Motor City Brewing.  It is their Tripel Ale.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know history of this Michigan base craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know this Detroit craft brewery.  Let us get into this Tripel Ale.

It has a cloudy golden color without head. The aroma has a Belgian spice notes. The taste has a banana to fruit notes. The aftertaste has a heavy banana notes. It is a sipping beer.

Here is a description from their website (www.motorcitybeer.com):

Tripel is a classic Belgian style golden ale, with a perfect balance of delicate fruit esters and subtle spicy notes.

ABV: 9.2%

OG: 10.5

Ending, I give all craft breweries credit for trying to brew a beer.  I do not like when they put out a beer that is so bad.  They do not even thinking about redoing the beer to make it better.  This craft brewery needs to stop by a craft brewery or a Belgium brewery to learn how to brew one of these great beers.  Sorry, I am not a fan.  Just think, this is a beer that pushed me to buy this sampler pack.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Steen Brugge Triple Ale

image

Starting a new beer blog, we are going to sample out another beer, which is Triple Ale, from Steen Brugge.  In 1084, this brewery was founded in West Flanders.  The secret of brewing this beer has been passed down to get brewmaster and is locked away from the public.  Palm Breweries are brewing Steen Brugge family of beers starting in 2003.  Asides that information, there is really not too much information on this brewery or their beers.  Let us get into this Triple Ale.

It has a slightly clear golden color with a white constant head on this triple ale.  The aroma has Belgian spices notes.  The taste has a slight citrus with a carbonated spicy notes.  The aftertaste has a dry and heavy spicy notes.  It is kind of drinkable beer.

Here is a description from their beer bottle:

The historic Steenbrugge Abbey was founded in 1084 by St. Arnold, the patron saint of brewers.  Distinguishing itself from other abbeys.  Steenbrugge continues the medieval tradition of using “grunt”, a herbal mixture that is one of the secrets to creating a divine drinking experience.  And to further uphold century’s of high quality, secondary fermentation is painstakingly applied to each bottle.

In closing, I was pretty interested in trying this beer.  There was a nice Belgium sampler pack in a beer store by me.  There is a lot of flavor and spicy notes.  I love the description from the bottle.  I am a little surprise they give out as much information on this brew.  The beer recipe is a secret like most beers on the market.  It is kind of drinkable.  I enjoyed drinking but I cannot see the price for a six-pack.  I bet that is why it is not on the shelf at most beer stores or high-end beer stores.  If you see it, I would try this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog New Belgium Trippel Ale

In this beer blog, we are going to sample Trippel Ale from New Belgium Brewery.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their their Fall Seasonal, which is Pumpkick Ale, you know the history of this craft brewery.  If you have not, please, read the beer blog posts to get to know this 100% employee owned craft brewery.  Let us get into their Trippel Ale.

This Trippel Ale has a clear golden color with a nice white constant head.  The aroma has a heavy coriander and other spicy notes.  The taste has a Belgium spices and heavy coriander notes.  The coriander lives and hangs around a bit in the aftertaste.  This Trippel Ale is kind of drinkable but it is more of a sipping ale.

Here is a description from the beer bottle:

A Belgian yeast strain, a trace of coriander, and a blast of hops is the triple-threat this Belgian style ale struts out each time you reach for our bottles conditioned Trippel.

Here is a description from their website (www.newbelgium.com):

Our Trippel Belgian Style Ale (pronounced triple) opens with a bold blast of hops that slowly gives way to the fruity esters implied by our Belgian yeast strain. In the Belgian tradition of brewing singles, doubles and triples, Trippel is the strongest with the longest fermentation. Remarkably smooth and complex, our bottle-conditioned Trippel is spiced with a trace of coriander.

Closing, New Belgium has made several Belgium beer styles ales.  This brew is not different than the rest of the beers in this beer style.  There is not many Trippel Ales brewed with coriandor.  I am not a fan of this brew because of the coriandor in it.   However, this is a good beer and New Belgium made a great beer here, I highly recomend this beer.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
