Ale Asylum Tripel Nova
Ale Asylum Tripel Nova. No ABV given. They never do. But, i had one at the brewery a few weeks ago, pretty sure it was from 8.5%-10. Sounds about right.
Slightly hazy, bright golden hue, below a snow white cap of foam, slim but staying.
Aroma: Spice and sweetness first, with mild fruit notes below. Beautiful nose, note perfect for a triple.
Taste: Bittersweet hop attack hits first, then is overcome by spice and Belgian yeast character. Sweet, fruity notes dominate the palate, mingle with spice and never quite split the scene. Alcohol creeps up a bit, as with any good triple. Just enough spice and fruit. Just enough of everything. Not bad, not bad at all.
What's the gobbledygook? "Golden in color, with a bouquet of fruit and spice, this Belgian-style tripel has a touch of summer sweetness and a euphoric finish. Tripel Nova is brewed with passion and is best enjoyed that way."
