Flying Dog Shotgun Bang!<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, this next trio of beers I found have a bit of a violent theme, some incredible art (this one by Ralph Steadman, like all of Flying Dog’s labels), and all come with a story:<\/p>\n

You know how it goes, one second you’re drinking a 9% tripel, and the next thing you know, you’re out on the porch yelling at strangers, THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK.
\nThis salt ‘n pepper tripel masquerades as a well-behaved Belgian table beer, then cleans your clock with a blast of spicy peppercorn and pink Himalayan sea salt.
\nSurprise!
\nYou just got shotgun banged. NOW GET OFF MY PROPERTY.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clear golden pour with minimal head retention, smells of pale, doughy malt and funky Belgian yeast. The taste is crisp and bready with fruitier undertones of apricot and plum and a full, effervescent body. The finish is long and moderately bitter with spicy and herbal hop notes, along with a very faint presence of salt and pepper. Honestly if it hadn’t been so hyped on the label, I might not have even noticed them, the salt especially. Overall, it’s a well made, true to style, yet fun and unique twist on a tripel that is definitely worth trying, I just wish the salt & pepper were just a little more forward in the flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[12],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-2158","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-belgian-tripel"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Unknown","hops":"Unknown","additions":"Peppercorns & Himalayan Pink Sea Salt","yeast":"Belgian Ale","abv":9,"ibu":35},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":3562930},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/2158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2158"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/2158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2164,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/2158\/revisions\/2164"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=2158"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=2158"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=2158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
