Review – Flying Dog Kerberos Tripel
A new offering from Flying Dog Brewing, and is packed as part of their new strong four pack, Canis Major Series, called Kerberos Tripel. Kerberos means “The Hound of Hades”, although I know it as a term in my computer geek world. Flying Dog has tried some Belgian inspired ales, and this by far is their best one.
Flying Dog Keberos Tripel – Poured into a Chimay chalice – 8.5% abv.
Appearance: Cloudy dark orange. No head but swirls are seen from the top looking down.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Orange rind, cloves, coriander.
Taste: Coriander, spices, bitter hops, and grapefruit rind.
Mouthfeel: Fizzy on the tongue, a tad thick. The bitter hops lays on the back of the tongue during and after the sip.
Overall: A very bold and interesting take on the Tripel style. This might be even better in 6 months, when the hop bitterness and spiciness mellows a bit. Highly flavorful as is, definitely worth a try, especially if you enjoy Tripel.
