This episode of uBrew+iReview features Homeland
Brewing’s Molly’s Demise, a Belgian Tripel.
If you’d like your home brewed beer to be
featured in this series contact me.
Homeland Brewing is out of Cedarburg, Wisconsin
and run by home brewers Paul and Mike.
Check out their YouTube Channel Home Brewing TV for the brew day video of Molly’s Demise.
Now, let’s take a look at this Belgian Tripel...
Alright guys, so very nice head persistency, pearl white, real good carbonation, little
bubbles coming up off the side of the glass.
Real nice, beautiful dark deep golden color. Really rich golden color. Beautiful looking beer.
 
Really nice, subtle fruity phenol aroma coming
off the nose of this Belgian Tripel.
Now before we going into the taste and evaluation
let’s review the brew day that went on into
the evening there at Homeland Brewing.
The 10 gallon batch of Molly’s Demise was comprised of 25 pounds of Pilsner base malt
as well as 1.5 pounds of Carapils malt.
2 lbs. of candi sugar as well as 2 oz. of
Tradition bittering hops were added at the
start of the boil.
2 oz. of Saaz flavoring hops were added with
15 minutes left in the boil.
Trappist High Gravity yeast was pitched for fermentation.
And now, I have this beer in my hand, so thank
you very much Paul and Mike!
Now, one quick note before tasting this...I
was told that this beer is named after Mike’s
dog Molly who, unfortunately, passed away shortly before the brew day, hence the name
Molly’s Demise. So cheers to Molly and thank goodness that all dogs go to heaven!
Paul and Mike, cheers for sending me this
beer.
Real nice spicy note upfront that quickly
transitions into a fruity phenol mid-palate
and then kind of lingers into a sweetness.
Not overly alcoholic, this means that Paul
and Mike had really good temperature control
during fermentation.
This is an absolutely delicious beer.
Yeah, the spicey esters and those fruity phenols
are in check. It has a real nice dry finish.
I think the most important thing when doing
a Belgian Tripel is really controlling the
fermentation temperature. Congratulations guys, you were extremely successful in doing
that.
You made a delicious beer!
So an absolutely fantastic beer from Homeland Brewing. Congratulations boys, I look forward
to tasting some more of your brews in the
future!
