Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company New Lang Syne (2018) Tripel at 9% ABV (C$17.28 at NLC Stavanger, 750 ml, packaged on 1-Sep-2018, acquired 31-Dec-2018, reviewed 5-Jan-2019)
Appearance: muddy deep gold with a fat fluffy white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: pale malt, white wine, pome & drupe, wood. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-high carbonation, off-dry finish. (4/5)
The head’s better behaved than last year’s version, but the colour is not as clean, with a great deal of sediment giving a muddy appearance. Aroma and flavour seem to be pretty much identical to last year. Meant to have this as a champagne replacement for the NYE festivities but didn’t get around to it, so had it with our weekend after New Year’s feast instead. (14/20)
