SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA 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. minch25 (346), Columbus, Ohio, USA 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.
6 3 6 3 12 3.0 Changed (161), Ithaca, New York, USA May 1, 2009 12 oz bottle. Absolutely love the pour. Hazy, murky pineapple yellow, big fluffy white head, large floaties, lots of lacing. Aroma is of typical Belgium, but a bit scaled back- something I really appreciate. The carbonation isn’t that of German seltzer water either- another appreciated change-up from a Belgian Belgium. Zing of a mouth-feel; fruity and slightly spiced towards the end. Perfect carbonation ending, rather smooth, slight alcohol shines through- warming as it goes down. Dare I say it: this is my favorite abbey Tripel: Belgian or not! KornDogg (168), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 20, 2009 a nice tripel from stoudts... full bodied with a warming power.. spice and cloves with hints of orange jkaiser (212), Orlando, Florida, USA Mar 31, 2009 Everything about this one reeks of just above average. I love the label, and the effort just let me down somewhat. I would try it again but only with friends. BrianDorry55 (117), Spring Hill, Florida, USA Mar 28, 2009 12oz bottle from the Brass Tap in Wesley Chapel, FL. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a thin white head. Aroma is citrus, cocoa, and florals. Flavor is alot of sour orange peel...Med. mouthfeel...This is pretty solid beer. GandGKevin (183), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Mar 26, 2009 Pretty good triple. Nice aromas and flavors that are typical for a Belgium style triple. Overall a nice beer. VTHopHead (895), Barre, Vermont, USA Mar 21, 2009 Bottle - Pours a hazy orangish amber in color with a small white head that fades to a very thin covering over the beer. No lacing. Aroma is strong of Belgian yeast, spices (cloves, nutmeg) and a light fruitiness. Flavor is very fruity... apples, melon... and slightly sweet. Alcohol is apparent, but muted by the intense fruity flavors and maltiness. Finish is slightly bitter and lingering. I am impressed... a quite decent tripel. This is the first of Stoudt’s for me and I look forward to more from this brewer.
