Tre Fontane Birra Trappista Italiana Tripel

Birra Trappista Italiana Tripel: 6.5 – When one hears Tripel one often thinks of one place – Belgium. However sometimes the hooves are actually zebra’s as this comes from Italy. It’s a bit sweet, but the wealth of spice, malt, and flavor isn’t ruined, but accentuated by a lack of any bitterness. It has a nice creamy oakyness to it as well, and is rather pleasant to drink.

Price Average: $10

Green Flash Brewing Co. Le Freak Ale

Le Freak Ale: 2.0 – It’s a combo of a Belgian Tripel and an American Imperial IPA (AIIPA?). Which is actually a good description of this beer. It’s got a strong taste, and I’m sure if you liked it would find this amazing. However I can attest that in my small sample size of a few people (damn you p values!) it’s unliekly you will enjoy this beer. It’s hoppy in all the wrong places, has gravity in all the wrong places – it’s a bastardized combo that shouldn’t exist.
