Sawyers Triple

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.

Tap @ Stone winter Storm 1/28/08, shared with bikesandbeer and my girlfriend Cyn. Pours orange with a bright ring island. Nose is sweet and sharp. Taste is very nice, sweet and tasty with a big mouthfeel.

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 at the Stone Winter Storm 2008. The best beer that we tried. Very good flavors with some sweetness and hops.

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.

ON tap at Stone Winter Storm. Hazy golden yellow with a creamy white head. Malty sweet fruity aroma. Taste of banana and fruit with a mild caramel taste.
