Millstream Raspberry Trippel

Oftentimes with fruit beers, the fruit overwhelms the "beeriness", while a well-crafted fruit ale balanced the fruit against the hops and malt for a complete brew. Lately I've just lucked out with fruit beers, or maybe I've just chosen wisely. Millstream's Raspberry Trippel is a Belgian Trippel in every sense of the word, nicely hopped, with that distinctive character that the Belgians made famous - copied in saisons and farmhouse ales the world over. It poured an amber hue, a bit lighter than I've come to expect from trippels, with the aroma of raspberries massaging my nostrils. There's abit of apricots and figs hiding in the back as well. Another fine brew that gets the IGB seal of approval.
