# 21: BRAKSPEAR TRIPLE
Brakspear Brewing Company - England
6.7% ABV - Amber
E: Deep amber, reddish golden hue. Foamy head that laces the glass.
N: Lots of sweet malt aromas, hints of tropical fruits, a subtle banana aromas as well.
P: Sweet malt, almost toffee flavours, bursts of pineapple and grapefruit and tropical fruits, slight bitterness
M: Warming, light spritz of carbonation, drying.
Other comments: Triple hopped, with a great blend of cross-atlantic hop varieties. Plenty of Cascade hops but they do not overpower the malt sweetness. Well balanced.
Food Pairings: Something hearty like a stew, allow the sweet malts to contrast against saltiness. The bold hop notes would pair well with spice, so a hearty lamb curry would be my recommendation.
SCORE: 3.3/5
