Keeping Your Eye on the Prize

Check out the nice bubbles in this beautiful Belgian Ale

So never in a million dreams could I pull off a 106C or forward triple flip. While taking swimming lessons, I dreaded the diving part. The instructor would shout out, “Keep your eyes on the prize”, shortly after that my belly flop would spray water all over!

I try to keep my eye on the prize when it comes to seeking out great craft beer. I will admit this summer I have found some really good Tripels and the latest is 106C Tripel from Crane Brewing.

The spiciness of the Belgian style beers is so intriguing. It is not a hot spiciness, it is an herbal, floral presence that enhances the fruit notes. I pick up peach and apricot notes primarily. This beer is nice and crisp. There is a little back end dryness and a white wine type of characteristic.

This is a gem of a tripel! It has so much flavor and each sip is very captivating. Little bit up there on the ABV at 8.0%. I recommend this to craft beer and wine lovers. I think both will enjoy this beer tremendously!

Cheers!
