The Devil's Tramping Ground Tripel by Aviator Brewing near Raleigh NC. I've had this one before but this time was much better as they had had time to age on the shelf for a while. Luckily the grocery store I got them at had them discounted at $6.50 for a 4 pack since they were "old" but little did they know that a beer like this gets better with age. This is a really sweet beer that hides the 9.4% abv very well with only mild alcohol flavor coming through. Not a perfect beer, but a really nicely done tripel nonetheless. Ohh, and it is a tripel in a can! You don't see that everyday.
I'm not big on Kona but their IPA is probably the perfect summer beer because it drinks like a lager and tastes like lemongrass.
I'll have to try this again they sit on the shelves at my store too. last time I tried it I did enjoy it for sure tho defiantly wouldn't of guessed the abv by taste.
Bout to crack the victory Helios farmhouse ale I was "cellaring" I'm not very patient and don't feel like going to the store lol. I still have a Sierra Nevada hoptimum but I just can't enjoy a ipa like I can a saison.
Femme Fatale Brett from Evil Twin Brewing. Definitely a solid IPA. This one might be up your alley Jimmy Carter. It's definitely an IPA, but it is well balanced and ends with a bit of a funk. I'd like to say the brett comes out more and gives a more sour finish, but it doesn't, just adds a bit of funk. I also did Orange You Glad from Mobcraft Brewing. This thing was strange. It was a sour hefeweizen with blood orange. It lacked in a lot of areas and overall wasn't what I was expecting.
have you had the no.4? its freaking amazing. everything I've heard about the no.5 is its good but needs some age to be up to par with no.4. Havent had a chance to try the no.5 yet.
This stone IPA and new Belgium rampant taste very similar, although, I like this one quite a bit more.
Nope can't find the love child near me trying to work a trade out with someone. Might order it online either way I want it!
They get better with age, or maybe I just liked it better this time haha. Either way it can't hurt to pick a pack up. They do hide the abv really well, but then again the tripel style is notorious for having deceptively high alcohol content. HOMETOWN BREW!!! That stuff might as well flow through the streets of Asheville. I've told the city council to install Gaelic Ale fountains but I haven't heard back yet; I'm positive they will say yes though.
Not a bad beer but the last one I had was so unfiltered that it was a little to much to handle. I generally prefer unfiltered beers with the yeast in them but in this case it was like drinking bread chunks (I could have had one that was past its prime).
