Captain Lawrence Xtra Gold (10.0 ABV)

This beer is an American adaptation to the classic Belgian style of beer known as a Tripel. Historically Tripels were brewed to have a very light golden color, a moderate hop presence, and be around 9% alcohol. But we are not in Belgium, so I decided to crank up the hops, dry hop the beer with American Amarillo hops, and brew it to 10% ABV. This is our American Tripel, enjoy. Sensory Profile: Enjoy in a goblet or wine glass. Tropical fruit and honey are the two biggest aromas coming from this lively brew. While the hop bitterness is not as powerful as an IPA, the hop flavor melds nicely with the fruity flavors created by the imported Belgian yeast strain used. Food Pairing: This beer goes great with roasted vegetables, fish and rotisserie chicken. And it can be used as a aperitif before dinner with shrimp cocktail.

Had as a draft at Good Beer. Its like a hoppy tripel. The hops are prominent but not overpowering. Sweet and spicy with some bitterness to it. I'd say to drink tons of this stuff but the ABV is so well hidden, you'll be out after a few glasses.

Current favorite beer. Huge hops balanced by sweet fruit esters from belgian yeast. Still need to identify the hop bill, which is a magical blend. This beer completely hides the huge alcohol content.
