The Bruery Trade Winds
Famille Rue The Bruery Unfiltered Bottle Conditioned Trade Winds Tripel, Belgian-style ale, brewed with rice and thai basil. This Belgian and Southeast Asian inspired Tripel brings spice from the East and yeast from the West. Choc-tee! (Cheers in Thai) Orange County, CA. Alc. 8.1% a.b.v.
Clouded, rusty gold, showing a bit clearer at the edges. Triumphant, exuberant head, snowy white, lacy.
Beautifully fragrant, lightly spicy, floral, airy, with lemony traces. Gorgeous.
Drinking, the loveliness lives on. Lean-bodied, snappy, plenty of spicy tricks playing on the palate. Very lively, with marvelous Belgian yeast flavor adding another dimension of deliciousness. Citrus fruit factor grows larger, and candy sugar sweetness climbs in to match it. Just stays vibrant and tasty all the way through the bottle.
Great match for thai food, I'm sure. Don't know, I had it with Chinese. Worked there, too. Excellent tripel. Is simply everything they make this good or better?
