Stoudts Triple

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

12 oz bottle courtesy Sammy, bottled 03-03-2005. Hazy dark amber colour with a fully diminishing frothy off-white head. Heavy caramel and citrus aroma with spicy and yeasty notes. Citrus and candy sugar flavours, plus yeast and some light medicinal phenols and alcohol that distract but aren’t necessarily unpleasant. Medium bodied, syrupy mouthfeel. Sweetish dark tripel and I guess I prefer my tripels paler and drier.

Pours a bright golden color with a big head. Smells nice, yeasty and bready with slight fruit and sweetness. NIce creamy mouthfeel as I have gotten used to with this style. I think they did a good job representing this style. It won’t knock your socks off but it’s still very good.

Bottle courtesy of Adrian910ss: Poured a medium golden color ale with a small white bubbly head with minimal retention. Aroma of sweet malt with some alcohol. Taste is way too sweet for the style with some warming alcohol which didn’t really fit in there. Body was about average with some medium to low carbonation. Overall, I thought this beer was definitely off the style and way too sweet with some burning alcohol.

Bottle. Classic tripel yeastiness and hearty spiciness in the nose, some alcohol, very true to style. Clear golden-orange body with a sticky eggshell head. Thick, syrupy mf with strong alcohol presence (but I do love the booze in muh tripels) and loads of yeast and spice (lots of clove) with some peach and apricot. Doughy malt and incisive lemon, light vanilla. Slightly harsh. Very warming, full-bodied and delicious. Medium-sweet, strongly sour to finish, with a medium-strong bitterness; overall, very robust. At this point, probably the best American-made tripel I’ve had.

Milky orange. Pungent was the first word that came to mind to describe this beer. Just a hard bad fruity taste to it.

2006 x-mas gift from amy. clear orange with a disappearing white fluffy head. warm fruity bubble gum aroma. hint of clove and vanilla. flavor sweet banana bubble gum with toasted nutty notes and hints of clove. spicy clove medium dry finish. strong vanilla presence throughout with a hint of tart green apple and white grapes as well. warm alcohol on finish. creamy mouthfeel. lively carbonation. nice complex. i enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Copper color and surprising great taste.Rich thick palate and great smell and very smooth.Worth a try.

Popped this open on New Years Eve. I had been sitting on this for a year, after purchasing from Hi-Time in Costa Mesa. Last Stoudt’s beer I had wasn’t bad but far from anything that I’d call "must have". This beer poured out a deep copper/gold color, clear with nice lacing and good head. Aroma was sweet, reminded me of peaches, yeast and some spices. Flavors were yeast, sea salt, dried apricots and slightly sour (very slightly) with a bit of a heavy-handed alcoholic bite to it. Good stuff.
