Commercial Description:
A strong, full-bodied Belgian Abbey-style beer. The traditional yeast strain that is used imparts a rich array of spicy and fruit-like flavors. The prominent clove and melon notes are complemented by the sweetness and alcoholic warmth of the beer. The appealing color of glowing orange makes this brew irresistible.

I’m enjoying this right now in sunny Florida. I had a case brought down from Pennsylvania around Christmastime. And no, this isn’t the first one I’m drinking….I’m about half a case in. In any case, word on the street is that Stoudt’s is going to be distributed in Florida....hmmmmm. Traditional Abbey Tripel....spicy and fruity aromatics. Pours an orangey hue with a fine lacing of foam. Covers its strength well (I’m downing this one in more than just sips and its definitely going to my head). Another fine beer from this brewery.

Bottle courtesy of Blake. Clear amber body, white soap suds head. Caramel-sweet aroma with peat, overripe melon, and doughy yeast. Big peppery, alcholic flavor. Starts with sugary coffee cake finishing with bitter metallic hops. Intense alchol burn/pepper throughout. Burning, tingly mouthfeel. The flavor is way too peppery for my taste.

Slightly hazy, but shiny gold with a red hue to it. Dusty, sparse head. Fruity sweet and spice belgian aroma. Cloves, some pepper, melon / cantalope... pretty good aroma. Nice and full. Flavor is belgian spice, some saltines, sweet fruit, some dry yeast, roses (?), slightly dry hops... pretty good in small amts, but a bit overpowering for a 12oz.

12 oz bottle has 3 gnomes overlooking a village with hops and grains also depicted. Says it is bottle conditioned Belgian Abbey-Style Ale and Microbrewed Beer. There is no notation of the alcohol content. On the neck of the bottle it says that it was bottled on 9/13/05. And, “surprise”, I have 2 bottles and they are identical on the outside. I poured the 1st bottle into my snifter and the second into my new but old Trappist glass. I was dusting today when I picked up my cobalt blue goblet that has a very nice pewter dragon stuck on it. Damn! It’s been sitting there for years getting the occasional cleaning. I never realized what it was until today. Duh! I let the second bottle sit out while I drank the first. They both came out of a 44 degree fridge and they both sat out for 30 minutes before I opened the 1st one. Took about half an hour to drink it and write the review. As I go through the second one I’ll make notes where appropriate. This triple poured a cloudy reddish gold into my snifter. There was no head. There is a small ring of foam around the inside of the glass. There is no lacing. (The second one did form a nice creamy white head, but it was gone in less than a minute. Still no lacing. No way I can determine the color of this one as it sits in that cobalt blue glass.) There are faint fruity aromas with a little caramel, but that is all overwhelmed by a very pronounced rubbing alcohol odor. (That rubbing alcohol odor is not as pronounced on this second bottle. Is it the glass? Have my senses become numb? Nahh! Not yet!) O.K. It is not as bad as I thought it would be based on its aromatic properties. There are some pretty complex things going on in the mouth. Fruity and then sweet caramel and they play against each other. Quite enjoyable. Then comes the swallowing part. Whack! The 9% ABV really steps up and imparts a nice warming feeling all the way down the gullet. I noticed no difference in taste between the two bottles. Stoudt’s triple fits its style well IMHO.

orange in color and a small thin white head. strong lemony, spicey, sugary, yeasty aroma. incredibly sweet and sticky. flavors of bubble gum, sugar, some hops in finish. better than some belgians. a real surprise.

Deep cloudy orangish red pour with a mid sized head. Lots of yeasty malty fruity goodness in the nose, possibly slightly spicy as well. Flavor was big and mouthfeel was full and thick. Spice, alcohol and sweet fruits dominate. Nice but the alcohol may have been hidden just a little better.

Not my favorite. I like the Weyerbacher Belium Ale much better than this. Plus the guys on the label look like Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride Movie.

Hazy off-yellow pour with medium frothy head offers a nose of sweet banana, wheat, and clove notes with a strong yeast presence. Mouthfeel is medium heavy with light carbonation. Flavor is layered with more of the malt sweetness, a strong bubblegum quality, and revolving tones of yeast. Very nice in depth and enjoyability. Stoudts does Euro-styles very well and this Tripel is a convincing example.
