Trippel - New Belgium

APPEARANCE:(4) Beautiful golden color. The foam is thick and dense.

AROMA:(3) Fruity and esters. Banana marshmallows

FLAVOR:(3) Rather sweet palate at first that mellows out in the end and leaves a little bit of dryer finish. Low bitterness.

EXTRA:(3) New Belgium always produce good products. Their website is excellent and their bottles are pretty and have informative information even if they left out the serving temperature on these beers from the 'explore'-series.
