Hi there fellow beer lovers,
Coddy turns his attention to Redwillow Brewery’s Trappless English Tripel (7.6% ABV). Bold, strong, and ambitious, this beer promises a flavour-packed experience, but not every promise is kept.
Will it impress, or is this one better left on the shelf? Let’s find out.
Name: Trappless English Tripel
- Brewery: Redwillow Brewery
- Aroma : Very malty on the nose with an unusual banana like scent.
- Appearance : Clear, golden with an open head when pored… very different to how the Dubbel looked
- Body : Thin, Mid carbonation, poor head retention and very very dry.
- Taste : The best taste I can attribute this too is a stale lager, there is no trace of the banana scent, and is very dry and quite claggy.
This has no signs of being 7.6% and could potentially be quite dangerous to drink, the stale aftertaste is very off putting to me, and like Sam I am not a lager drinker so it really doesn’t float my boat.
Its best left on the shelf in my opinion, and pick up the Dubbel instead!
Our overall rating: 2.0/ 5.0
