Big Creek Trappist

This Belgian style ale is brewed using yeast from one of the six trappist breweries remaining in the world. This strong Belgian Trippel is Sockeye Brewing’s nod to the monks who originally brewed beer to feed their community in the Middle Ages. “Trippel” is a naming convention used by monastery breweries to describe the strongest beer in their range. In creating a batch of this traditional style, our brewers use up to three times the pale and Munich malts of a simple Belgian ale. Hazy copper in color, Big Creek Trappist has a banana, clove nose with a sweet and spicy finish typical of Belgian beers. Bitterness is up there for this beer, even with such a light body for its strength. Alcohol is barely perceived amongst the even balance of malts and hops. This beer is also known as Triple Pie Ale at Flying Pie Pizzeria in the Boise area. Show Less
