Troegs Nebulous Joins Splinter Series

Troegs Brewing (Hershey, PA) Splinter Series grows with the coming addition of Nebulous Barrel Aged Triple Ale. The brewery is taking another offering, LaGrave Tripel Ale, refermented it with Brettanomyces yeast, then barrel aged it.

Nebulous begins its journey with a vague sense of direction, but with a specific destination in mind. Originating from the roots of LaGrave, this barrel-aged Triple Ale was re-fermented with Brettanomyces to release a subtle tartness punctuated with hints of vanilla, toasted coconut, and wet hay. Bottle conditioned and highly carborated, simply pop the cork, pour into a chalice and savor!

Troegs Nebulous will be released in 12.7oz bottles.

Style: Belgian-style Tripel (w/ Brett. Barrel Aged)
Availability: 12.7oz Bottles
Arrival: TBA
