I almost didn't post this evening. After avoiding all media so that I could come home from work and enjoy the Patriots/Jets game on Tivo, I find that it was not worth the wait. There is always next season, but it worse that they had to get bounced by the Jets.
The first beer of the evening is the Florival Blonde. This one was a surprise. Bought it at Delhaize only to find out after the fact that it is done specially for Delhaize by the Afflingem folks. It may have been the bottle, but I dont think so. This beer is simply not good. Bitter aftertaste and just a generally funky. I dont mind Afflingem. Not a favorite but certainly drinkable but not this one. Half a glass later, the rest of the bottle was down the drain. Not worth the effort, one drunk monk.
Which brings us to the Bersalis Tripel. We picked this beer up at Beer Temple while in Brussels over the weekend. I like tripels so this was a pleasant break from the Florival. It pours a cloudy straw color and has a really nice hoppy bite. A little sour edge with some citrus and spice. A little generic but certainly a keeper. Three Drunk Monks!
