3.93/5  rDev -1.3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

I tried a sample of this at the Great Brewers event in Manhattan a fortnight ago

A Poured into an oversized wine glass to reveal a murky sienna color, paperclip thin head, and long swiss cheesep lacing. Tight retention with slight rising bubbles from the side.

S: The nose gives off pine, rosemary spice, minor tangerine ester and biscuit.

T: Another great American hopped up Tripel similiar to Captain Lawrence Extra Gold. Starts off with a dash of sweetness followed by a sharp bitter finish.

M: Medium to thin appropriate to the style.

D: NBC's Hop God is a powerful beer with a varied flavor. I am quite fond of this one and look forward to more of their creations.

Serving type: on-tap

If you are one who enjoys having one High end ABV in a session, this is a great one to try.

I especially enjoyed the combination of both Hops and cleverly appearing citrus/bannana/clove tastes.

The alcohol content is not hidden in this beer, which is appropriate.

I will visit NBC on many occasions, and will always include one (and only one) of these in each session.

4/5  rDev +0.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

A: Pretty nice golden color; very cloudy; nice head with pretty good lacing

S: Strong cloves and citrus, subtle banana

T: It's billed as a Tripel and IPA combination and it tastes like one, which works..kind of. The alcohol is a bit overwhelming at times...could be more balanced, but the citrus and hops still make this a solid tasting beer

M: Fine...a little thin on the backend

D: Okay for a strong beer but the alcohol becomes slightly overwhelming.

3.68/5  rDev -7.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

A: Extremely cloudy banana-peel yellow. A small pillow like white head sticks the hole way down and leaves a coating lace.

S: A heavy mix of cloves, pepper and citrus assault the nostrils. There's a bit of fruit sweetness in the background.

T: Starts with a pear sweetness that's quickly replaced by a citrus and spice bitterness. The bitterness becomes a touch metallic toward the finish. The metal quickly passes as the beer finishes with a lingering clove bitterness and a mild alcohol warmth.

M: The medium body has very fine carbonation that's just about right for this style.

D: This is a one and done beer for me, as the strength keeps me from partaking in more than one a night. An overall nice offering from Nebraska Brewing.
