Southern Tier Tripel

66th percentile? This one has a lemony zest with a nice tingly mouthfeel and a floating floral aroma. I don’t detect the 9% alcohol at all. The aftertaste has some hoppy bitterness to it with a grassiness inherent in it. For a tripel it doesn’t seem like this has much of a kick but its very well balanced. I know I like it when I want it again. I also know I want to go back to Shangys.

weak for the most part. poured a clear straw like color with almost no sediment at the bottom. Aroma was sweet with notes of pepper and alcohol. Taste was sweet with some spicy notes. Smooth drink, not filling.

Poured a clear gold with a small quickly disapearing head.. The aroma was sweet, yeasty and fruity with clove, banana and tangerine. The flavor was sweet and sugary. Tasted like artificial sweetner on the finish. Light bitter and clovey finish. Warming. Medium bodied.

Strong nose of yeast amd earth. Hazy amber body, almost no head. Well surprise on the taste. Sweet citrus start, earth malty finish. I am not a belgiun fan, but this was good.

Plenty of tannins, orange peel and a light spiciness in the malty caramel and toffee heavy aroma. Opaque tan body is topped by a decent though fizzy, white head that recedes to a thin cover. Tannins are rich in the surprisingly sweet flavour along with orange citrus character and a light chalkiness. Bitterness is but an afterthought and is quickly enveloped by the lasting sweet after taste. Alcohol is never apparent. Medium body with moderate carbonation that is lively on the tongue and cheeks. Chalice. Cellar temperature. Bottle (trade, Mar-05). Thanks, DocLock!

There is a light orange peel aroma with a slight hint of caramel. The body is golden and very clear. Upon the pour the head is of significant size and duration is nearly fully lasting. At first there is a slight caramel sweetness which rounds out to a mild hop bitterness. The finish on the palate is light and refreshing.

Orange body with a thin white head. Caramel and tangerine nose. Sweet upfront flavor with a yeasty twang. Finish is dry with lingering citrus. A flavor that is like having a penny in your mouth is a bit distracting in this. Alcohol is noticeable in this. Ap- 3 ar- 6 tas-4 pal-2 ov-9

Clear gold w/ thin ring of frothy white foam. Yeasty, citrusy aroma over a caramel malt background. Thick, medium body. Flavour is yeasty & malty w/ lots of clean, citrusy hops. Finish is quite dry & peppery.
