Cellar temp
Pours clear gold, almost bright, big white effervescent head, big bubbles, laces, hangs around some.
Big yeasty aroma, sweet malt, earth/spice hops, tart stone fruit mostly
Mouth feel big carbonation, toothy but light to moderate body, sweet but not clingy
Flavor banana and plum, nice earth hop flavor, all over sweet malt.
Finish nice balance, a little clingy sweet but bitterness balances OK, want more.
Overall a lot like a tripel without the kick, still strong though. Could bring down ferm temps a bit, a little more spicy hops towards the end. Hersbrucker is very good though.
Notes from Brixtoberfest Judging 29.7 avg 3 judges, 2 bjcp judges avg 31. Esters too heavy, needs crisper finish, body too heavy.
