A Note on This Beer

Breweries are stepping up their game in anticipation of Alaska’s Beer Week on the horizon. It’s the time of year when AK brewers really show off their skills, rolling out the metaphorical red carpet at their taprooms with unforgettable taplists!

So, when Anchorage Brewing announced today’s brand new The Turning Shape Belgian-style Tripel, we got tingly with excitement from our fingers to our toes! 

If these world-renowned brewers are going to introduce a fresh contender before Alaskan Beer Week, you know it’s going to be the type of pour that makes a lasting impression.

To create it, Anchorage adds earthy Saaz Hops to the Belgian-style Tripel, then ferments AND ages it in Oak Foeders. After allowing it to naturally carbonate in the cans, each sip seamlessly blends hints of coriander and clove alongside pricks of pepper. Then the delicately malty backbone elevates notes of candied orange rinds and whispers of brandy, leading to a dry finish with just a hint of hoppy bitterness.

If you want to preview what these famous Alaskan brewers are pouring for the crowds, this is the only place to grab a taste! Well that, or you could fly up to the Great White North and visit the festival yourself. 

But considering it’s -20 degrees right now, you may want to hold off on that option and just get your Alaskan drinking experience delivered to your door instead.

A nice smooth taste with a little kick behind it. Not too hoppy but still enough for me to not try it again. I did like the smoothness.

Would’ve liked it to be better, but the flavor was just a little plain. Might’ve been a older can.

Banana and clove aromatics with peppery notes and a light malty sweetness on the finish. This one is the perfect embodiment of what a Belgian triple should be! Highly recommend this one! 🍻🍺👍😁

A light Belgian-style ale. It’s got banana and clove on the nose and tongue like a Belgian should. It’s also got a light peppery finish that is not overpowering.

Sorely disappointing, this “Turning Shape” didn’t really float my “Love Boat,” and that’s surprising for an Anchorage brew.
