Handwritten notes: This is the kind of style that would taste like crap if it was below 7% ABV. This beer has a complexity whose true nature can only be revealed behind the woolly comforter of numbing liquid depressant. What? I love coriander and the way it plays in white beer, but I taste none of it here. But bless you, your ancestors, and your descendants New Belgium for busting a Trippel into this hackneyed market. The only thing missing is a Duvel-like sea scum foam head.
