Victory Brewing Co Golden Monkey

 Victory Brewing Co: Golden Monkey Tripel Belgian Ale

Specs:

•  Price:$9.49
• ABV:9.5%
• Ingredients: German malt (deeper golden color), Belgian yeast (a sweeter touch)
• Process: Not important. Tripel ales are just heavy pale ales and this one leaves a sexy Belgian lace on the glass, so you know it was done right

It's hot outside. Sticky hot. Like 'the last thing I want is a stout' kind-of hot. But I could still go for a 'barrel-chested man-beer' with some kick. I'm gonna be honest really quick: I love summer, but the seasonal 'Witbier' shit is always weak. wheat and Blonde ales are generally sweet, sugary, fruity, and low in ABV. Like a bitch beer. So what do I do about this seasonal bull-bird I've been presented with? Boo at summer wheat beers! At my local Earthfare I picked up Victory's Golden Monkey, a tripel style Belgian Ale. Instead of sipping a watery blonde ale this afternoon, I'll go three sheets with this rich golden ale that's got a little more brew for my buck than anything else I could sip in this heat. Victory's taken the silver medal in the International Beer Competition for this one, but during this heat wave a 9.5% affordable tripel ale I can kick back with earns the 'gold' in it's name. http://victorybeer.com/beers/golden-monkey/
