Brewed by Stoudts Brewing Co.
Style: Abbey Tripel
Adamstown, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

i find the body moderate as beer goes. the clove flavor is gratefully refined with quality sweetness. equally appreciative is that this flavor is truly earthy and moderate. the alcohol is not really too warming and the fruit flavors are muted. a semi fizzy yet swirl of bubbles rises from the bottom of the glass as an interesting finish to the pour. a light foamy head as of plastic. the yeast does a fine job of doing as it should for this type of brew. it is one of the more pleasant beers of this variety. in this offering careful moderation which creates good balance is the key to something that in turn is really quite good. as i am not really a fan of the style.

Not great, decent triple. a little over priced. Aroma of apples and cloves. Flavor of strong yeast a very zesty citrus, dark fruits. Fizzy. Alcohol slightly present. Sharper carbonation.

Bottle. I thought I had rated this but oh well here it goes. This beer has become a steady warm weather beer for me but I am enjoying this on a dark rainy day. Beautiful golden body with thin head. Aroma is yeasty and earthy with light tropical fruits. Flavor is light spices and fruit, earthy and a medium to heavy mouthfeel. Easily quenches whatever mood I’m in for a nice Belgian Tripel.

This was good. However at 15 a sixer, dont think I would buy it again. An okay take on one of my favorite styles.... lots of clove and yeasty flavors. Mouthfeel was nice, maybe a bit cloying. Not terrible, Not great... just okay... nice beer for 1 or 2. I am sure the remaining 4 will be drunk within a month.

12 oz bottle...Poured a golden-orange w/ a fizzy white head. Nose of apples, caramel, spice, dark fruits, sweet yeast...Tasted like apples, caramel, candied fruits, spice bread...Soemwhat fizzy, medium bodied...A sipper, not a session beer. Better than I expected!

Bottle->tulip glass. Pours a small, creamy, but diminishing head atop of a cloudy, light amber body. Aroma yields caramel, bread, perhaps even some mealishness. Hops are perfume and the yeast is a bit doughy on the nose. The flavor’s duration is average, lightly sweet, acidic, and bitter. On the palate, the body is medium with an alcoholic texture, lively carbonation with an astringent finish. Not a bad beer, but lackluster compared to other triples.

12 oz bottle purchased at Oak Tree, hi Dan and Jay. Poured a hazy brownish/orange with a large soapy white head that rapidly disipates and leaves no lacing, bummer. Nice aroma with lots of candied sugar, green apples, toast and yeast notes. Medium to full bodied with a smooth finish and average carbonation. Fruity flavor with notes of apple, brown sugar, yeast and dry toast. I served this one a bit to cold, God Damn well functioning refrigerator, but was a great take on an Abe Tripel.

UPDATED: JUL 2, 2010 June 2007 - Beer pours crystal clear, nice white head, no lacing. Aroma of dry apple and cloves. Flavor was fruity sweet, with a little spices. Moderate carbonation. Good beer from Stoudts! July 2010 on tap at Stoudts restaurant - After 3 yrs, nothing to update. Big cloves, big pear, fizzy mouthfeel.
