Goose Island The Ogden. Belgian style Tripel. Chicago, IL  Bottled March 24, 2014. 9% ABV



Served chilled in a brandy snifter. Pours a copper color with an amber hue. For a Belgian style Tripel it is relatively clear, and there is just a hint of cloudiness. The smells are tropical, and I can detect hints of banana and citrus peel. The carbonation and body are medium, with a smooth taste. There is a quick rush of hops early on but the majority of the taste has a malty and yeasty taste to it.  The aftertaste is heavy on the banana. Overall an excellent beer and a great American version of a Belgian style Tripel. 

As my regular readers know, Goose Island is a favorite brewery of mine, and Trappist Ales are a favorite style. Though this is not technically a Trappist beer, it is in the style of a Chimay or Westmalle. If I had not seen the bottle, I could have easily confused this for a Trappist Ale. Once again, Goose Island has shown how well rounded they are when it comes to styles of beer. Bravo!
