My cousin Stevie mailed me some beer including a domestic brewed example of a Belgian Tripel. It will be tested in a future tasting.
Hoegaarden White: Color-Pale light yellow Nose-Exotic First taste-Sharp Observations-Taste subsides Fizziness-Rim head; slight carbonation Where Brewed? Hoegaarden, Belgium Cost-$1.33 per 12 ozs. Aftertaste-Some Rating-6.25
Leffe Blonde Ale: Color-Golden yellow Nose-Clean First taste-Pungent Observations-Taste stays in mouth Fizziness-Medium Head and carbonation Where brewed? Brussels, Belgium Cost-$1.33 per 11.2 ozs. Aftertaste-Some; not positive Rating-6
Saranac Belgian Style Ale: Color-Amber w/red hue Nose-Foreign First taste-Strong Observations-Back throat Fizziness;Slight head; active bubbles Where Brewed-Utica, NY, USA Cost-96 cents per 12 ozs. Aftertaste-Slight Rating-6.5
FINAL THOUGHT-All brews were different types; Results representative!!!
Additional Bud Light Tasting (same night): Color-Golden yellow Nose-Clean First taste-Flat uneven Observations-Not any discernible taste Fizziness-Shallow rim head; limited carbonation Where brewed? Corporate Headquarters St. Louis, Mo. Type-Light Aftertaste-None Rating-2.5 NOTE: Not securing the screw cap overnight a factor at least in carbonation; maybe taste too!!!
FINAL THOUGHT- Left over beer(s) from my daughter Bryce's get together!!!
