Dragonmead Final Absolution
by admin on Feb.04, 2008, under ale, beer, tripel
Background: From Dragonmead in Warren, Michigan comes this Belgian-style tripel.
Appearance: Hazy peach body.
Nose: Sweet bread, banana, and bubble gum.
Taste: Light malt, yeast, white pepper, mild phenolic spiciness, with banana and clove esters floating on top. Finish shows a medium-high hop bitterness and a bit of earthiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, effervescent carbonation feels coarse.
Overall: Fairly good, but not top-class. I'd like to see a creamier mouthfeel and a slightly dryer finish.
