It's been a while since I've had anything by Regina's Pile 'O Bones Brewing.Today's sampling is their Belgian Tripel, which is described as a complex and warming Belgian Tripel, that just might bring out your inner monk with malty aromas and fruity touches of orange zest, green apples and apricot. 9.6% ABV
Appearance: Deep honey golden colour to it, fairly clear, decent amount of carbonation in the body, and a moderate amount of light beige head on top that doesn't go anywhere.
Aroma: Decently sweet with notes of honey, orange zest and clove, a tad boozy that burns the nostrils.
Taste: I get a bit of a Belgiany booze burn right from the beginning, but it shouldn't be a surprise as this is 9.6% ABV. I get apricot, orange zest, clove, and a boozy burn at the very end.
Overall Thoughts: The first thing I thought of was New Belgium Brewing's Tripel (Actually I wrote many reviews, click here for them) but just missing something, je ne sais quoi.. it definitely has Belgian Tripel vibes but I'm finding that there's too much of a booze burn first and Belgian ale vibes second. It's harsher than it should be, but according to the canning date - it was canned only a month ago if I'm getting the dating code right, or possibly that was the "best before" date as the CO-OP liquor store we went to didn't have many beers bottled/canned in 2026..
