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.

22 oz bottle. Clear pale orange with white frosting. Nose is banana, bubblegum, yeast and orange; very sweet. Tangy medium light, a little oily in the back. Taste is green banana, lemon pith, candi and lime peel. Bitter yeasty finish with black pepper.

Bottle pours clear dark golden color with white head. Aromas are typical yeast, floral, belgian, and spice. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is heavy on the yeast, clove, white pepper, orange peel, banana, and finishes dry. Overall a solid brew.

Bottle: Clear gold color. Classic Belgian - tons of yeast and way too banana-ee for my palate. It’s probably a good representation of the style, but not my cup of tea. Wait? Ummm.

Bottle, courtesy markwise. Clear yellowish bronze pour, thick lacing and smooth soft white head. Funky nose, some spicy notes, honey. Flavor has a dry yeasty slight funk, with some orange peel and spicy elements. Smooth and drinkable, kind of a saisony-tripel thing.

Bottle: Pale golden pour with a nice beige head. Nose is light and fruity. Some Belgian spices with a little yeast and some breadiness. Well balanced. Flavor is rather rich in fruity and spicey notes. Light yeast. A bit of cloves stands out. Cidery notes and a light vinous fruit element. Smooth. Thanks Toby.

22oz bomber shared by riversideAK. Pours a clear golden yellow with easy white head. Nose is of candy sugar, apple, some earthy grassy notes and hints of banana. Body is a little on the thin side and this is just a straight forward triple. As I sip on this, I start thinking about the 080808 and the Cali-Belgique and pick up some similarities in the 3. Would have been fun to crack all 3 at the same time. Thanks Alex.

22. Thanks, Riverside! Crystal clear bright dark gold. Very thin filmy head. Big green apple, toffee, and dust nose, joined by a bit of banana. Very much the classic tripel, other than the hefeweisen intruder. Crisp, sparkling body. Green apple, toffee, dust, and lots of banana on the mid-palate. The banana is a weird addition. Mild sweet finish.
