My first shot at a Weyerbacher beer:

Poured into imperial pint from 12 oz. bottle.

A- Turbid golden-brown, with a fizzy white head, pretty thick after the pour but coming down to ring around the rim, with a patch floating in the middle. Through the haze, lots of carbonation rises to the top. No lacing left behind.

S- fruity, apple, banana, with some bread yeastiness. Alcohol has a slight sting, but is pretty well hidden by the other aromas.

T- Generic fruity sweetness (i.e. I can't put my finger on a specific fruit) with the yeastiness right behind it. Alcohol is a bit more apparent in the taste as is in the smell, but it still doesn't take away from the major flavors.

M- Light bodied, with a good amount of tingly carbonation. Warmth in the finish reminds me to slow down a little, because this is a 9 percenter.

O- Although alcohol is abundant in this brew, Weyerbacher did a fine job concealing it with some other wonderful flavors and aromas. I enjoy this Tripel, because it isn't too heavy, and it has a good balance of flavors. It's not too sweet, yet hops are barely noticeable. I'd have this tasty beer gain, and look forward to more of Weyerbacher's creations.

Pours a cloudy straw color with a finger of head that dissipated relatively quickly. The nose possesses the definite essence of Belgian yeast. The flavor is sour but generally flat and uninspiring. I am not terribly impressed with this offering from a respectable local brewery.
