Oct 4, 2007 LIghtly hazed straw color with a moderate white head. Dusty pale grain and malt with hints of citrus and clover honey. Flavors of sweet wheat, light malt, candi and floral attributes. Finish is slightly bitter with a touch of alcohol and pepper. I also seem to catch a bit of metal. Not a bad Belgian ale, just not much of a tripel.

Oct 3, 2007 22 oz bomber. Pours a clear golden color with a modest short lived head. Aroma is not very strong. Sweet maltiness and hints of spices. Mouth feel is slightly sticky. Flavor is not complex. Sweet,slightly spiced fruit and a medium alcohol appearance. I’d call this a strong ale. Really doesn’t have that triple quality ,taste,mouth feel or anything else. Not bad for $4.99 but I won’t be buying again.

Sep 24, 2007 Good looking beer, a clear golden amber with a decently sized head. The aroma is a bit light, citrus juices, pale malt, lively spices. Medium bodied, the citrus from the nose is more clearly tart oranges and tangerines, the spicing gets a little peppery, and a mild floral bitterness is added. Sweet, spicy finish with a low alcohol burn. Not earthshaking, but tasty enough. U.S.A. Rating #2345 (out of 3730)...at least for a while longer today... <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Wine & Spirits, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Sep 13, 2007 Rated while drinking: Pours a similar golden color to the label, with a decent-sized fluffy white head and a bit of lacing. Very faint aroma of yeast, malts, and maybe alcohol. Really hard to tell. Not as aromatic as all the other tripels I’ve had. Flavor is unexpectedly quite malty, with a rip of alcohol at the end. Yeast pops up in the middle. Finish is almost chocolaty? Starts off smooth, alcohol burns and leaves a chalky sensation in the mouth at the swallow. Very odd kind of tripel, but drinkable. Don’t know if I’d personally come back to this, but it’s forced upon me since it’s in the variety pack. Definitely not up to Southern Tier’s other beers.

Aug 8, 2007 Out of a mixed 12 pack. Filtered, thin and alcohol cuts right through. The mouthfeel is nothing like it should be - this is sort of tripel-flavoured beer. Glad it’s being tried on a large scale in NYS, but this just isn’t a Tripel.
