Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Triple Voodoo Brewing Inception
Belgian Style Ale. I’m a big supporter
of Bay Area brewers. A friend of mine
had mentioned Triple Voodoo Brewing as he had run into them some time ago at a
beer fest. Once I found this offering I
quickly snapped it up.
From the Triple Voodoo Brewing website:”
Triple Voodoo Inception Belgian Style Ale is not brewed in traditional Belgian
style like traditional Trappist ales. Inception is bright and clear with a
sharp alcohol note in the beginning and an added twist of black currant in the
center of the flavor profile. The beer finishes clean and has a solid malty
backbone. This unique flavor profile was achieved using a special hop varietal.
The high hop load also makes it reminiscent of an IPA and gives it that unique
California characteristics.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours an orangish caramel color with a frothy white head and nice lacing. (Failed to pour into a Tulip)
Aroma: Textbook Belgian scents – banana, cloves, coriander,
candied sugar and sweet malts. Smells fantastic!
Taste: Sweet biscuit malts, sharply bittered by hops,
Belgian yeast, bananas and spices.
Tastes fantastic!
Overall: A very well made Belgian with a West Coast hop
presence, Triple Voodoo Brewing Inception Belgian Style Ale is delicious and
well worth checking out. Surprisingly
drinkable at 8% ABV the alcohol is well hidden.
Be careful!
Cheers!
