Tripel Dipsea

So this afternoon I'm sitting down to a Marin Brewing Company "Tripel Dipsea" Belgian Style Ale, which is amped up on the yeast and hops.

Head is light and disappears quickly. This produces a VERY light fruit aroma which, lucky for me, doesn't translate into a real sweet beer. Color is medium, rich brown, with little to no sediment

The flavor is awesome. I tend to think of Belgian Tripels as very light, and this is anything but. It isn't heavy like an Old Viscosity, but it has plenty of flavor. The yeast, I think, is what stands out most. In a way this reminds me of Delirium Nocturnum, but is a little more sweetly viscous. Very good mouth feel. The alcohol has just the slightest tendency to overpower some of the other flavors in here.
