The Beginning: Allagash Tripel Reserve


Well, well, well, and so it begins. Not with a whimper, but with a slam dunk. Couldn't have picked a better beer to set sail with (credit to David). A Belgium style brewed in Maine, Allagash Tripel is a golden nectar, smooth and rich. It is a full bodied delight that delivers a head two fingers thick and tastes of banana, butter(scotch) and a dash of spice. And at 9.0% alcohol, taste is not the only benefit received. Allagash Tripel is a gentleman's beverage that one may enjoy at home or paired with an fine meal. It's an all-star. I bestow my highest rating, reserved for the most celestial of beers: BAD BOYS.

I'm incredibly excited to begin this commitment and am certain the next 365 days will be an eye-opening experience. Every day is a different adventure into the world of beer, exploring what began in some monks bathtub (*citation needed) and quickly became the fuel that continues to nourish humanity's soul, making life just that much better (*citation unnecessary).
