Victory - Golden Monkey

The Victory - Golden Monkey is an American spin on a Belgian Tripel. Similar to traditional Tripels, the monkey packs a punch at 9.5% alcohol by volume. This beer is surprisingly sweet and floral with a cloudy gold body. It includes various "exotic" spices that make it complex. Their website proposes making a "Monkey Julius" cocktail with 1 part OJ, 3 parts beer, and topped with champagne.

Beer stats:

Malts: 2 row German malt
Hops: European whole flowers
Yeast: Imported, of Belgian origin
Alcohol by volume: 9.5%

(Beer Rating: 8/10)
