A - Emerged from the bottle as a hazy orange, effervescent liquid with a minimal off-white cap that reduced to some stringy lacing but flared up each time I swirled my glass.
S - Aroma suggests an Eastern inspiration with citrus flavors, grassy and herbal notes, while Asian spices offer a hint of exotic flair to the nose.
T - Zesty citrus notes mingle with crisp rice-like malt and herbal and grassy hops, giving the flavor a light, almost airy quality for a Tripel. There is also a hint of exotic spices that adds complexity to the flavor profile. The basil and lemongrass are perceptible yet rather nuanced and delicate.
M - Light to medium bodied with a crisp, effervescence and a light syrupy texture. Finish is bittersweet with very little alcohol warmth on the palate.
D- Really different take on a Tripel, traditionally speaking. The Thai Basil and Asian spice notes adds a really complex nose and body to this beer and is more an Asian Tripel in nature than a Belgian.
Food Pairings: This should go incredible with our mussels or scallops. This could also pair nicely with the chicken schnitzel sandwich and veal schnitzel or daily fish possibly.
