River Horse Tripel Horse

Style: abbey tripel
Alc./Vol.: 10%
Rating: 3.0/5.0

I ordered this Belgian style beer at the Peculiar Pub in the West Villiage. It has an apricot color with a smooth white head. Citrusy, with a significant vanilla essence from the Belgian yeast, Tripel Horse tries hard to balance these sweeter components with the intense alcohol content. The content overpowers however, and makes for a rather unpleasant drinking experience. This beer could be great, but it tries too hard and comes off overdone and unecessarily aggressive.
