Jul 3, 2009 Bottle. Opaque orange beer, fleeting white head. Aroma is tripley, yeast/spice. Feels good on the mouth, nice fruity,spicy, yeasty flavor. Finish is smooth, nice representation of the style.

Jun 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy orange similar to a hefe, no head at all. Nose is alcohol, yeast and melon.. proportionally in that order. Taste possesses the same banana and ester characteristics of a hefe too. Yeast, sugar, slight clove and sharp spices flourish in the near finish. A significant amount of alcohol silents the softness. I think I found an overrated Triple.

Jun 22, 2009 12 oz bottle, from brewery. Pours a clear dark gold body with a small fizzy white head that faded quickly. Very heavy pale malt nose with some light yeast derived fruitiness and lots of alcohol. Light tropical fruits. Heavily malt driven flavor with lots and lots of spiciness. So much in fact that it prickles the tongue. Way too much alcohol flavor and no malt/yeast complexity or softness. This is like their Mai-bock with some triple spicing. The yeast character is all but missing. Heavy and thick with fizzy prickly carbonation. Cloying sticky finish. This just wasn’t what I look for in a Triple.

Jun 13, 2009 Experienced on tap at the Sharp Edge. I was excited to try this beer, being familiar with some of Stoudts’ other offerings. The appearance of the beer signaled good things to come. However, to put it very mildly, I was put-off by the aroma of the beer. More akin to garbage or rotten food than the phenolics and citrusy spices that one would expect in a tripel. It was almost so disgusting as to render the beer undrinkable. While the palate was better, it was decidedly one-sided. I got no malt sweetness of any kind. The finish was relatively dry, which at least made the beer kind of easy to finish quickly. The only excuse for this might be that the tap lines were dirty. That being said, I’d be interested in trying the bottle version of this beer.

Jun 11, 2009 This beer pours very cloudy, like a hefeweizen. For my palate it even tastes like one, but much boozier. It is a delicious version of a Beglian Abbey Triple for being from Pennsylvania.

May 28, 2009 12-oz. Thanks, Laura! Pours murky gold with a thin white head. Sweet fruit, spice and apple aroma. Sweet nut and fruit taste.

May 24, 2009 Bottle, #480. Hazy yellow pour with particles and quick dying white head. Sweet aroma of yeast, esters. Flavor follows with a bit of banana. Pretty good brew.

May 17, 2009 Clear strawberry blond, fluffy collapsing beige head.
Aroma - yeast, fruit esters, banana, mango lassi.
Flavor - sweet, alcoholic center, peach. Moderately effervescent. A more or less authentic and passable belgian tripel, but I’m not so big on the style these days, and this in particular is too alcoholic and sweet for my tastes.
