Commercial Description:
Sawyer’s Triple is based upon the traditional "Golden Triple" style of strong ale, hailing from Belgium, and weighs in at 7.6% alc/vol. The brew is deep golden in color with a distinctive spicy, sweet and hoppy nose. Effervescent carbonation leads to a modestly dry malt character with hoppy flavors and alcohol overtones. Sawyer’s Triple was formulated and brewed by Bill Sherwood.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks!). Poured a medium orangish color with a small sized off whtie head. Aromas of pears, banans, some spices, and citrus. Tastes of the same fruitiness and spices. Some oxidation is starting to set in.

Thanks to hopdog for sharing this one! Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma of mixed citrus, tropical fruits, tea and some ligh tripel spices. Flavor of light Belgian yeast esters, peppery notes, some various citrus notes and apricot. Oxidation has set in on this one and I think has impacted this beer negatively. It was nice to give it a try but it has passed it’s prime.

On tap at brewery in January ... apricot/amber color; small head. Aroma and flavor of sweet malts and fruits. Light citrus, peach, honey, slight aging harshness/breakdown but smooth and tasty overall despite the age. I’d like to see them make this again.

On-tap 1/28/08 at Stone. I’m way down for the good cause and all but man, it’s overrated, this brew is average at best. Pours golden yellow with a fizzy white head that fades quickly to nothing. Faint smell of sweet bready malts. Tastes bready, malty sweet, banana, apricot, with a touch of citrus. Mouthfeel is full, carbonation is active and good at first but it fades ignificantly towards the end of the glass.

On tap @ Stone Winter Storm 2008. Brew poured a beautifully hazed golden orange with a head that was off white and about 2 fingers thick. Nose was big on spice but orange peel, lemon seed and yeast was prevalent as well. flavor was mostly spice but with hints of banana, orange, and a slight hop bite.

On tap at Stone’s 2008 Winter Storm. Some banana in the aroma. Very light to no carbonation. Some orange peel bitterness in the taste. Nice.
