Tallgrass Brewering Velvet Rooster:
Greetings one and all and welcome to another day another can, can you dig it?  Ha!  Okay that wasn’t that bad was it?  Wow, rejected by crickets, this has to be a new low.  Well while I try to salvage my comedy career let’s talk about beer, in particular, the next entry in our visit through the Tall grass Brewing fields of *ahem* tall boys, particularly their Velvet Rooster.   This velveteen chicken is a nice strong Belgian Tripel Ale that not only sports 8.5% ABV but lofty expectations since Tallgrass’ 8-bit Pale Ale is one of the best beers I’ve ever had in a can.  The beer pours a nice hazy yellow color with a creamy white foamy head that leaves good lacing on the inside of the glass while the nose consists of a nice hop-malt blend with floral notes.  The beer’s initial taste is akin to most Tripels with a nice rounded malt flavor with a touch of unfiltered wheat that roll together to the mid tongue with a nice balanced addition of booze and a growing fruit taste that turns a subtle sweetness on the back end.  The after taste is a clean and crisp flavor that doesn’t linger and a nice light mellow mouth feel and no coating.  Another great beer from Tallgrass and one worth remembering on those jaunts to states that carry this brewery (not here in Texas, sadly).
