Ahhh

I carbonated the Rat Tail Belgian tonight which is actually the nick name for the Belgian Rat Tripel. The ABV was slightly lower than anticipated because I didn't mix the final malt addition as well as I should have. Oh well, live and learn. So rather than an 8.2% beer it's 7.2%. Of the three batches I've brewed this is definitely my favorite. I really like the subtle fruit flavor which I know some of you don't really care for. I think next weekend I'll be doing an apricot Hefe for the Queen Rat (Mrs. G.) since that's about the only beer she really cares for. Without an over abundance of enthusiasm she did say she liked this new Belgian (I didn't tell her about the rat tails) but she may just have been saying that to be nice. Cheers.
