First a quick note: The VBS on 52 sold out of 25 cases of Hopslam in 3 days. That's 100 six-packs at $18 a pop. Craft beers are officially a big deal, and as a community, craft drinkers are growing. Awesome.
Last night the victim of choice was the New Belgium Trippel. It comes in 6 packs...that is an amazingly dangerous things for this Trippel lover. That being said, this is not what I would call a world class Trippel. It is good, and at only 7.8% abv it is the closest thing to a sessionable Trippel there is. The flavor is crisp and clean, this would be a great beer to introduce a novice to craft beers and belgian styles. The sweetness of great Trippels is simply not there in this beer, which is probably the biggest thing that I was disappointed with. That being said, for the price and quantity this is a great deal to get your Trippel fix.
