Batch 145 Tripel tasting notes

Cellar temp

Pours deep gold, clear with slight haze, small white head that drops back.

Aroma big banana ester, slight tang, alcohol.

Mouth feel moderate body, sweet, clean, nothing clingy or cloying.

Flavor sweet almost plastic-y stone fruit/banana ester, crisp hop edge without real hop flavor, simple malt way in the background.

Finish is about perfect, cleans up very well, leaves pleasant sweetness, want more.

Overall, maybe too heavy on the esters, could drop fermentation temp a bit, early samples seemed underpitched, but time in the bottle cleaned it up some.  Pick up some booze in the aroma, but flavor is well balanced.
