Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA 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...

emobassfoo (178), Webster, New York, USA 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. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 02/08/2006

taffurs888 (121), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 25, 2007 Very chocolaty, tastes darker than it looks. But a very good beer none the less Nihon (239), Vernon, Connecticut, USA Aug 11, 2007 Fruity floral aroma, alcohol well hidden. Light golden yellow color. Really enjoyed the flavor on this one. Smooth and no too bitter. linc33 (177), Albany, New York, USA 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. GonZoBeeR (2155), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Jul 30, 2007 Aroma:Caramel aroma,fruity,alcohol....
Appearance:Deep clear gold,good head...
Flavor:malt caramel flavor,alcohol,light citrus hops....Not taste realy like a tripel... joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jul 15, 2007 first off, this was served in incorrect glassware. the beer was a little thick for a triple, not a light, spicy, and bubbly classic triple. overall it is decent for an American triple but has no comparison to a classic Belgian. Noticeably inferior to Stoudt’s
