Here at What We’re Eating, we love our beer. In fact, we love beer so much that we’ve decided to start doing full-on reviews on some of the libations we’re currently enjoying. So, let the bubbles start flowing and lets get hoppin’!

The Beer
Le Freak
Brewed by Green Flash Brewing Company, San Diego, CA
9.2% alcohol
Style: Imperial Pale Ale & Belgian Tripel

Our Take
If you like light, mild flavored beers Le Freak is definitely not for you. This full-flavored, high alcohol content ale is brewed as a fusion of San Diego Style imperial pale ale and Belgian Tripel. When sipping this beer you first taste the yeasty sweet, but not overly sugary, effervecence of a Tripel with hints of orange, then the sip finishes with a relatively smooth yet definitively hoppy flavor with hints of grapefruit typical of an IPA. Green Flash truly succeeded in producing a beer that had all of the elements of both of these two styles. Definitely one to revisit. Rating: 4.3/5
