Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is The Bruery Tripel Tonnellerie
Belgian-Style Ale Fermented In Oak Barrels.
From the The Bruery website: “Tripel
Tonnellerie is a 100% barrel fermented version of a Belgian Abbey Tripel. The
base beer carries a classicly clean maltiness, balanced by a fruity aroma and a
dry, spicy mouthfeel. Extended fermentation in oak barrels innoculated with
wild yeast allowed the beer to develop the rustic, earthy tones of a classic
countryside biere de garde resulting in a uniquely flavorful beer, suitable for
beer and wine lovers alike.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a golden honey color with a big white head and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Funky
farmhouse yeast, lemon, peach, orange zest, apricot, apple, pear, pineapple,
candi sugar, clove, slight banana, wheat and light malts.
Taste: Light and
sweet pale malts, Farmhouse funk, lemon, peach, orange zest, apricot,
pineapple, light banana, candi sugar, light oak, clove, light wheat and earthy
hops.
Overall: Clean and
balanced, The Bruery Tripel Tonnellerie is enjoyable. This 9.5% ABV offering is crisp and smooth
and worth a try for fans of the style.
Cheers!
