Postmortem Brew Review
Syrupy light golden color. Some particle suspension.
Sweet fruit aroma; think apples. Not a lot of yeast.
Soapy white head that reveals excellent string lacing.
Light tasting like a wheat with sweet fruit finish.
Very little carbonation leaving a slight viscous body.
Alcohol is well hidden for a Trippel.
Light to medium bodied. Well balanced flavors.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
A new craft beer bar has come to town in Sarasota. Mr. Beery's opened this week and we thought we'd give it a go. Since we were having an unseasonal downpour, the regular stop would have been treacherous to transit. We agreed upon this meeting place for the evening. Partly due to the proximity to home and the bus line, should it be necessary. Practice safe imbibing skills, my followers!
A tidy, non-nonsense brick and wood interior contained a gleaming chrome tap line. We were dazzled! It contained a tremendous assortment of suds from which to choose. There were North American and European brews on tap and chillin' in the fridges, too. A chalkboard in the corner proclaimed the oft seen and spoken words of true craft beer establihments, "No Crap On Tap!" Yeah, baby!
When confronted by the plethora of delectable beer choices, our beer-tender, Rick, helped us settle upon a flight of four. The first up was this delicious Belgian style trippel from American craft brewers, Victory. There was so much going on in this one. The fruitiness, the low carbonation, the high ABV, the sumptuous pale golden color. I didn't get all of the yeast complexities associated with this style. Nevertheless, it was a treat for the eyes and the taste buds. You gotta' get yourself some of this, monkey!
