And to wish you all a Happy Halloween the booze drinking, vomiting pumpkin made by MikeLovesBeer contributer Chris’ father Dan. Thanks Dan!
Name – Weyerbacher Merry Monks’ Ale
Country – United States
Type – Tripel
Appearance – A straw gold color with really no head at all. Both bottles had a small head that was gone within a couple seconds.
Smell – Fruity malts of banana and cherries.
Taste – Taste of fruits and slightly spicy. Light in taste but it is quite strong in those tastes with a hint of the alcohol in it.
I haven’t had a Belgian style ale in quite awhile and was sort of smacked in the face at first because I forgot what they were like. Despite it’s light look and taste it is quite strong with a 9.3% ABV. A nice beer from northern Pennsylvania.
Overall Grade – C
For the first time in my life I got to experience what it is like to have one of your teams win it all. Congrats to the 2008 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies! I never gave up on you guys.
New beer review to come tomorrow from a great Pennsylvania brewery.
