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.

Clear orange hue. Taste is full and malty, a lot of spicey tastes up in the palate. Finish is similar. Tastes like corriander and cinnimon. Alcohol is well masked.

Thanks to TChrome for the trade. As if buying beer wasn't an enjoyable enough experience, doing it for a good cause makes it all the better! This is one of the more enjoyable Tripels I have had to boot. Pours a lightly cloudy and bright yellow-orange/apricot color with a medium thin white head. Thin and quick lacing. Aroma of citrus, banana and hops. Medium-bodied with a nice blend of citrus, pepper, coriander and apricot. The finish has a bit of alcohol kick to it, along with some fruit.

Thanks to SDbruboy and DaSilky1! Pours a clouded amber with splashes of orange. Small off-white head. Nose is spice, some earthiness, along with hints of yeast and vanilla. Taste has candy sugar, more vanilla and earth tones, and some alcohol notes. Carbonated bodt with some sharpness to it. Finishes very well with little aftertaste - perhaps some lingering spice. Well done! ***Not a re-rate, but I wanted to add, as this warms, more fruit notes come through with maybe peach or nectarine and more of the spice comes through. NICE BEER!

(650ml bottle) Dark, dissipating head and a cloudy, golden body. Nose of soft, sweet dry wine. Small vanilla flavours. Very good. Thanks Jess!

Exultant pineapples, pink grapefruit and bananas bathing in meady alcohol...Obeying to the fruity onslaught are the sagacious spices, swirling carefully in the thin and a bit undercarbonated body (for a triple) of still great malt cookies...Run of the mill Belgian stuff (meaning very good)...

Clear yellow-amber. Small white head. Yeasty, fruity (banana, peach) aroma w/ some citrus & cream notes. Soft, creamy feel. Yeasty, fruity flavour (peach, banana) w/ some complex spiciness. Some lemony acidity in the finish.
