The Editor’s Impression
Our editors found in the Alvarado Street Brewery Triplets a thrilling harmony that contrasts but also complements. The beer brought together the freshness of mango-papaya flavors intertwined with onionny and grassy elements. The balance here is key as the resulting ensemble is strong, punchy, yet manipulates restraint and control. As you sip, the taste buds meet an enticingly sweeter fruit layer, but again, a delicately poised balance is maintained, manifested as a gauzy sheen. This combined with an almost invisible bitterness, well, that’s the work of a true craft.
