This highly carbonated Belgian-Style Tripel has a clean maltiness, lots of spicy depth, and an evidence of alcohol that peeks through complex orange and mango flavours. Named after Lake Huron, “The S.S. Huronic” was the first steel-hulled ship built in the Collingwood shipyards. During the Great Lakes Storm of 1913, aka the “White Hurricane”, it ran aground on Whitefish Point in Michigan. More fortunate than most, her crew and passengers survived. In the late 1930s, her cabins were removed and passenger service ended. In 1950, she was finally scrapped in Hamilton, Ontario. Though she’s no longer with us, her legend lives on with a beer that’s as complex as her past.

    Bottle written "Huronic Tripel - Ships of Collingwood - 1st Launch" and with 9.5% ABV. Pours an amber-orange colour with a warm creamy head, decent stay and some nice creamy lace. Belgian Ale yeast with some spicy notes (hops), alcohol, fruity and bready malts. The taste is pretty fruity all-around with some bite from the hops. Not my kind of Tripel, as I love this style and this one is a little too hoppy and not enough balanced with the Belgian Ale yeast. Still, nothing too offensive.
