Southern Tier Tripel

On tap at Bites & Brews in Shadyside, Pittsburgh. Clear gold, white head. Aroma is grass, dried fruit and malt. Flavor is the same with this not very pleasant plastic like taste.

Doughy malt aroma. Golden color with a finger of white foam. Light caramel taste with a smooth finish. Palate is very creamy. Alcohol not noticable.

Pours orange with a small white head. Very nice aroma of spice, malt and some floral tones. A very crisp Tripel with a nice balance to go along with the sweetness. All by itself, this is a solid effort, but it really pales in comparision to other Tripels out there. There isn’t much in the way of complexity. Something is lacking.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of slight lemon and citrus, candi sugar, corriander, and some slight floral hops. Very thick on the palate with strong candi sugar up front that give way to the lemon and corriander. Finishes dry with a slight alcohol warming. Not too bad but a little too much sweetness up front for me.

12oz. bottle. A hazy gold color with a lot of fruit in the scent. The taste was sweet and well spiced but a little heavy. Not the best tripel but still OK

Bottle. Hazy orange pour with a white head. Aroma of spices, yeast, sweet malt, and earthy hops. Flavors of rarthy hops, yeast, spice, and odughy malt. Thick mouthfeel and a bit undercarbonated with a sweet and somewhat vegital finish. Kinda bizzare.

22oz Bottle. Light gold hazy color. Lacking in Tripel flavor. Not much when compared to top Belgians. Stick to the Hop monsters

Bottle. Light golden in color with a fluffy white head leaving good lace. Very mild in flavor with a bit of breadiness and a touch of sweet fruitiness. Kind of lacking compared to other Tripels. Also, kind of thin in body. Ehh.. rather have a Chimay.
