Day 18. New Belgium Trippel

This sounds like such a random beer. I mean, I don't even cook with coriander. I don't know what it even tastes like. It sounds like a mediterranean herb or something. And this ale has 7.8% abv?? Crazy. I just poured it and it looks like a "light" beer. Or I guess a "normal" beer would be more like it. Usually with something so high in abv, I expect a much darker beer, but this should be fun because it's light in color.

This beer is pretty crazy, it smells like a flower. It tastes like amazingness. Wow, not at all what I was expecting, and very pleased to have it. I was actually eating food with this beer, and I just pushed my plate away because it doesn't taste as good as everything that this beer is. I love it. Taste, look, smell...all a 10. My food sucks, this beer rocks! I like the flavor attribute flower from their website, its interesting how it shows you what you're going to get out of this beer.

This has been by far one of my favorite beers, and I'm going to be looking for it in the future. I'm surprised that it's not some special brew in a huge bottle that cost 11.99. Thanks to New Belgium, I won't have to shell out excessive amounts of money for a decent 6 pack next time. I don't know what coriander is like, but I'm going to have to try using some if that's what makes this beer so flavorful. Yes, the beer is spelled Trippel, but it's just pronounced triple. Smooth and strong beer, and also a decent amount of sweetness, but not overly sweet like others I've had. Totally amazing beer, go out and try it. It would be a good beer to share with your family and friends over the holidays. Not much longer now!
