After touring around Colorado, we made our way to Trinity Brewing Company right outside of the Garden of the Gods state park (which ironically was first thought to be called the Beer Garden). The brewery was pretty small, but had a cool vibe, and great food. For the size of the brewery, they had many beers on tap - most of which I had never tried. (It was pretty much like that everywhere we went - and yes, it was a long week.) My wife and I decided to split a bottle of the pumpkin saison. I am a fan of pumpkin beers, and after having several saison beers in Colorado, it was a new favorite too. But two "goods" don't necessarily make a "great." In this case, we shared a bottle of regret. It just wasn't pumpkin enough or saison enough... Too bitter, slightly bland, and overall pretty disappointing. Especially considering the fantastic pumpkin aroma it had. Oh well, you can't win them all.
My recommendation: If you visit the Trinity Brewery, try any of their other good beers. This isn't one of them.
