Panty Peeler

I get asked quite a bit about my opinion of a certain beer, for instance what do you think of the taste? Is it worth the money? etc. So I figured I'd just post my thoughts on a certain beer every week, and let people know if it's something they would like or merely just ramble my own opinion. After all I can only tell you from my perspective, and as one person loves to point out my taste buds are probably screwed up from my deviated septum. I'm simply one man whose been to a lot of breweries (almost every one in WA and OR), and tried a lot of different beers. Well with that disclaimer out of the way here I go. My pick this week Midnight Sun Brewing Co.'s Panty Peeler Belgian-Style Tripel. If you've never had a Belgian Tripel, have one! It's a smooth, but heavy ale, and usually very thoroughly crafted. As is usual with many Belgian ales this one is accompanied with a hint of coriander oranges, that tend to complement the ale with a stinging yet smooth finish. If you don't like the taste of belgian yeast avoid this ale! It's ripe with it, but that's what I love about it. A major plus making this my ale of the week is the fact that it was not overly carbonated as some belgians can be at times. Alcohol already reeks havoc on your reflux system why add to the issue. The beers from this brewery in Alaska have been popping up more and more around the area markets, which is a good thing cause almost everything I've tried from them so far exemplifies awesomeness! And as usual with most tripels and this being no exception, exercise caution as it may look like your average light beer but it's packing a 9% punch to it. Since I am just an informal observer judging from a buyer standpoint, I'm also giving brownie points to the clever title and goofy artwork, its all part of the wonderful experience. I purchased my from Top Foods for anyone who is interested. On a scale from 1 to 5 I give it a 3.5. It's not perfect, but definitly one you'd look forward to after a long hard day of work in order to break into relaxation
