The name of this beer would have been "I'll Have a Tripel Crown" if I'll Have Another had won the Triple Crown on June 9th of this year. Unfortunately, the 3 year old colt was scratched from the race and it was not to be. My alternate name for this beer is Simpel Tripel. You'll see why that name is appropriate when you see that it is base malt, corn sugar, Styrian Goldings and Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes yeast. My past attempts at this style never tasted quite right. I think the problem was that I kept trying to make them too big. This beer is still 8%, but it seems much better than my other attempts. 5.25 Gallons OG 1.075 FG 1.014 38 IBU Fermentables: 88% Gambrinus 2-Row 12% Corn Sugar Hops: Styrian Goldings, 5.25%, 1.25 oz, 60 min, 25 IBU Styrian Goldings, 5.25%, 1.00 oz, 30 min, 10 IBU Styrian Goldings, 5.25%, 1.00 oz, 2 min, 3 IBU Mash for 1 hour at 149F.
