Warpigs The Apparition Belgian-style Tripel Ale.
9.6 % ABV. Warpigs Brewing USA, Munster, IN.
I plunked down $14 for a six-pack of this for two reasons: I like to keep on top of the Warpigs beers, and I always want to try a Tripel. No one seems to want to brew them. Will they get it right? Once again, I have saved can number six for the note taking.
Lightly Hazed, dark golden toned, slim white head.
In the nose: sweetness, fruit, spice. Citrus and stone. Apricot and peach meet lemon and lime. Belgian yeast esters apparent.
In the mouth: light bodied, plump with fruity associations, with the threat of high ABV coming on quickly. Bright and juicy. Lightly spicy, with the alcohol burn blazing the back of the palate. Higher than the average tripel, for sure. Despite that, smooth stuff, and mostly mellow. More sweetness, spice, Belgian malt, candi sugar, and the forces of doom conspiring to wage a witching war upon upon our very senses. I’m not kidding, it’s right there on the label.
A silent figure stands eternal, beckoning toward the abyss. I step forward seeking answers. Shadow and flame reply. The vastness of stars align. Exhale.
Once more, Warpigs provides comic book captions in lieu of beer descriptions. That’s cool.
