Beer Style: Belgian Tripel (18C)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons
Description:
We brewed this a few weeks ago,aiming for a Belgian Trippel, but the resulting brew was a lovely golden ale color. At about 9--1/2 percent alcohol it seemed innapropriate to call it a double. After four days in the bottle, tasted room temperature, it was fantastic. No bananas yet, but we're of course expecting them.
This seemed like overhopping ad nauseum, but it came out wonderfully balanced. The cinnamon, of course, is a drop in the ocean of flavor.

- 3/4 cup, Belgian special roast malt
- 3/4 cup, English crystal malt (80L)
- 10 pounds, Northwestern gold extract
- 1/4 pound, light brown sugar
