Sawyers Triple

Bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a dark yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of white grapes, lemon, funk, honey, some floral hops, candy sugar. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of honey, apricots, yeast, rioe, white grapes, some hints of barnyard funk. Generally medium body with a floral and sweet finish.

Big thanks to markwise for bringing this to the weekly tasting. This beer has eluded me going back to its initial release. Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is perfumy, lemony then sweetness and various spice notes join the fun. I’m also getting notes of berries and faint cardboard with additional draws. The taste begins with a wave of sugar sweetness then mild lemon tart notes surface to go along with hints of apple, coriander, raisins and a touch of pepper. Very nice.

Aroma of sweet toffee and banana. Appearance is golden with a frothy white head that fades quickly. Flavor is fairly mellow - somewhat spicy and smooth with a strong Belgian yeast presence. Smooth smooth.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is fruit and alcohol. Taste is a fruit and yet also dirty socks. Not overly impressed by this beer.

Bottle (thanks reakt). Sweetish and alcoholic, with less finesse than its Belgian counterparts. This has some slightly estery citrusy fruit characters, with some noticeable alcohol. I prefer Stones hoppier anglo styles more.

Thanks to ghawener. Drank it at El Flor for New Years Eve. Nice brew from Stone. This tripel is well balanced with the classic hoppiness of American brews.

Pours a crystal clear light gold with a small head. Aroma of malt, cloves, and a little banana. Lightly spiced malt flavors and has a smooth almost buttery finish. Very nice brew.

Bottle thanks to Hophead22. Poured yellow in color with big white head. Aroma was sweet, banana, and yeast. Taste was fruity, honey, and hops. Well balanced and a good beer.
