Since the early 1600s the Dutch have attempted to breed a pure black tulip. Many have tried, a few have come close, but none have succeeded. In honor of this elusive flower, the Holy Grail of the tulip world, we offer a special brew, Black Tulip Trippel. Black Tulip is golden in color with a slightly sweet body. Its ester-laden character reveals an enigmatic dance between Belgian ale yeast and candy sugar that conjures hints of bananas and rock candy. A pleasing dry finish complements its inviting flavor.

Best With: 
A fine companion for this brew would be wild game birds. This is especially true when made with a stuffing containing some orange of lemon zest. The bitter sweetness of the ale brings out the light flavor of the stuffed bird.
