Adelbert's The Traveler 6/22


Adelbert's is a great local brewery that focuses on belgian style beers. The brewery is named in memory of the owner Scott Hovey's brother Adelbert. Each of their beers is named after a story of Adelbert.  The Traveler is homage to Del’s lifetime of traveling. From Colombia to Kenya and everywhere in between, Del experienced the world in ways few others ever will, and we are forever grateful for his stories. We hope to inspire you to go out and make your own adventures. 

Style: Belgian IPA

Discription: This deep golden ale possess an aromatic nose with floral and fruity notes. Its flavors are a blend of warm, soft biscuity malts followed by a complex, clean finish. With this ale, we aimed to create an easy drinking, one-of-a-kind IPA that leaves you wanting more.


Review: The bottle recommendation is 45°-55°, which it appears to have a more balanced flavor at the higher range, bringing out the Belgian-Style. Pours a golden amber with an off white head with a minimum of retention. With a sour floral aroma there is an immediate hop bite. A very subtle after taste of yeast. As the beer rises closer to room temp, the yeast flavor becomes more predominant. A nice beer. Although this is labelled as a "Belgian-Style India Pale Ale," it is weighed heavily on the side of an IPA. If you're an IPA fan, this is well worth a try.

ABV: 7%
