Anderson Valley Brother David's Tripel

Brought a 4- pack of this one from Wisconsin last Sunday. Turns out I first tried it in January of 2006. Here are the notes, on Anderson Valley's Brother David's Belgian-style Tripel Ale:


Clear , orange-hued, under a sizeable, creamy head.

Sweet, fruity nose. Smooth, lightly hoppy, bits o' spice.

Nice and easy, going down. big spicy fruit, medium bodied, light, yet lingering finish. Doesn't have enough presence, or character, though, to be memorable. Alcoholic content is well-hidden...at first. Then comes the brandy feel, and the burn.

Nice enough, though. Not quite a typical, or a trancendent tripel, but nice.
