Review: Fluffy White Rabbits
First of three reviews this week of locally made tripels
It would be a challenge to anoint any of the beverages made by Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project as its best, but Fluffy White Rabbits is surely a contender for the title. The annual spring release from the Somerville-based brewer is one magnificent beer.
Straw colored with a quickly dissipating head, it emits an aroma boasting citric hops, bananas, apricots, and Belgian candi sugars. This is a generously hopped tripel. Grapefruit and floral notes spill forth on the tongue, along with a tinge of sweetness. Despite all the hops, it's not one iota bitter. Superb.
Fluffy White Rabbits is 8.5 percent alcohol. A 22-ounce bottle costs about $8.
