$6.99, Michael’s Beer and Wine, Marietta, GA, USA. Not sure about the age of this 4 pack, but at the same time this should be OK for some time.

Quite what this is, or indeed is supposed to be, I’m not at all sure. The label says “British Style Ale”, and it is classified here as a Tripel. I’m not at all sure where those two boundaries meet, in fact, I don’t think that they do at all!

Golden viscous pour with a poorly retained head and no lace. Fair enough, at >10% ABV I was not expecting much. Nose is basically sugared alcohol and not much else. Tastes reflect those attributes with some burning alcohol and a sweet tripel twang. Not much else. Finish is burning and dry.

I think this is much closer to an English Barleywine – high alcohol without the hops.
