2017 CCB Dis Legomenon
Calusa 1st Anniversary Tulip
Refrigerated since new

Well after taking a weekend off to… well, drink normal booze, let’s jump right back into it with a TEQUILA-BARREL AGED TRIPEL/AMERICAN GOOSEBERRY SOUR BLEND.

Sounds fantastic, right?

I first have to come forward and admit that I have no idea what a gooseberry tastes like. I had a double El Catador membership when this came out so I’m sure I’ve had it before, but all I can remember is that I didn’t really enjoy it much, which probably explains why I ignored it for so long.

Nine years of life in my basement fridge seems to have actually helped it a bit. This is another beer with a whole lot going on but it seems to kind of work well. Tequila barrel is still there along with notes of pear, other fruits and kettle sour. As it warms the Belgian tripel side comes through more.

I think I have two more old CCB bottles in there. A shelfie I did a home wax job on in like 2014, and what I consider to be the holy grail of beers that I had no reason to ever open.

Big juicy hop flavor. Delicious

Can someone educate me on the difference ? Thanks!

Bavarian Pils. Basqueland Brewing. Pilsner - German. 5.5% alc.

The aroma is clean, with notes of baked bread, honey, and citrus. The flavors carry through to the palate. It offers a malty entry that evolves into a dry, crisp, and refreshing profile, with a lingering bitterness. For a moment, it transported me to Munich.
