Trinity Brewhouse (Providence, RI)

I dropped by Trinity Brewhouse for a quick lunch en route to Newport, and was able to try two of their craft brews. The brewhouse has a cool, laid back vibe and is festooned with some pretty great custom painted vintage-like sideshow banners.

I had their Redrum Imperial Red with a corned beef reuben (quite good) and it’s everything you’d want in an amped-up version of a red: big and juicey, caramel maltiness, lots of floral and fruity hops, and a lingering bitterness that balances out the heavy sweetness.

I got a sample of the Belgian Saison, and got the impression that it was more like a Belgian dubel, as it had a very prominent Belgian yeast flavor and nose, and was not nearly dry enough to be considered a true saison. That being said, the beer itself had lots of flavor, and if you enjoy a big, yeasty Belgian, by all means try it.
