Batch 105 Tripel tasting notes

Cellar temp

Pours clear golden, substantial white head that stays, laces better than grandma.

Aroma fruity fruit, apples on bananas, nice malt base, hops lend the tartness to the apple/pear aroma, slight earthy hop edge.  Almost liqueur.

Mouthfeel thicker than it looks, full feel upfront that cleans up rapidly, crisp finishing

Flavor nice sweet yeasty flavor with banana bias, hop/malt balance in background works well, can tell it is strong, but not boozy.

Finishes surprisingly pleasant and crisp without coating or cloying, definitely want more, some heat at the back.

Overall, another winner with the w1214, could bias the fermentation a little cooler to control the esters and bring out more phenolics.
