Steam Donkey is 3/3 so far. A bright tripel with a Helles-like brightness, clear cereal and bright banana esters. No overt spices. Pretty luxurious mouthfeel, really fits the idea of liquid sunshine. It packs a kick though, the strength of the alcohol sneaks up on you.

More fascinating than truly delicious, this is still pretty tasty. Floral lavender meets up early with strong bitterness that is half perfume, half white pepper. Notes of orange/grape. High levels of fizz on the tongue, finishes with an undertone of cereal sweetness

Up-front currant, dry and fizzy. Finishes clean with a lightly cereal finish, just a hint of funk at the end. Tart but not sour and the server insists on the categorization as a fruit beer, not a sour (but I've definitely had "sours" that were less tart than this!)
