Alpha Hop Society 2022: Barrel-Aged Belgian-Style Tripel | Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
ABV: 10.0%
IBU: 30
Style: Belgian Tripel
Out of Production
Description: “The yeast is the star” in a Tripel, says AHS brewer Nick Ison, but 8 months in St. George barrels shakes things up into “sort of a cocktail feel.” Belgian phenolics still command the aroma, yet bonus notes of pithy citrus and delicate botanicals somehow evoke a honey whiskey sour. The wood offers hints of vanilla that weave into smooth malt and “a little bit of an herb garden,” Nick says. This genre-bender finishes dry and is ready for musings around fall fire pits. Recommended aging time: up to 1 year
