Vista, California and Mother Earth Brew Co. have gone transatlantic to collaborate with a French brewer, Brasserie du Pays Flamand, to create a hoppy tripel.
Or as the label calls it, a spring ale. And the label is quite a work of art. Beautifully screened directly onto the bottle. I haven’t been fond of the
of the other labels. The artwork didn’t appeal to me and the one color didn’t work on the bottle. But this is quite pretty.
It pours a medium orange color. I would expect more yellow highlights from a tripel though. It has a perfumey citrus aroma to it. A light potpourri note. The taste has a bit of spice to it. With grapefruit and orange peel hints to it. The flavor fades away fairly quickly. I would say it has better aroma than lasting flavor. And it doesn’t taste like 8.2% at all.
I have been more fond of Mother Earth beers than St. Archer but not not as much as Modern Times. But this beer which is more Spring Ale than tripel raises them in my estimation.
Thanks for your enduring support! The Mother Earth Logo you have posted with the women’s head leaning back is not affiliated with our brewery. It’s a brewery out of North Carolina that is using our trademark illegally. Many thanks Daniel Love Owner and CEO
Well, color me confused. We don’t get the North Carolina beer here in LA and according to RateBeer, this beer is from the Vista brewery Mother Earth. And the photos are of the bottle itself. Unless you refer to another post, maybe?
