| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2004 Spicy, herbal and yeast aroma. Fruity and not so sweet. Apples, pears, banana. Beautifully balanced and lasting sticky palate. jeffc666 (1889), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 30, 2004 12oz bottle First off, these new 12oz Stoudt’s beers have more yeast in them then you can imagine. Cloudy orange-yellow, with large yeast chunks milling about biding there time before releasing their vitamin B into my gullet and hopefully keeping my head from aching tomorrow. Rocky off-white head. The aroma is sweet and yeasty. Light citrus and very earthy. Flavorwise sweetness and light spice are dominant. The citrus disappears. Lighlty bitter. Alcohol is present, though in a good way. Medium to full body. Slightly harsh carbonation. A good though not greast triple. More than any othe style, excellent triples seem to be few and far between. skaughty (621), Marietta, Georgia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2004 Mild aroma of caramel, with a relatively clear orange body. Taste is simple, but trully enjoyable. Banana, caramel and rum are the main layers of flavor, with a gentle warmth throughout. There is no harshness at all, and no alcohol hit, though the malting and candi sugar levels are high. Maybe not a technical marvel in brewing, but one of the better tasting triples from the US. rudolf (1751), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2004 Clove, yeast, bananna, orange. Very creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is clovey, alcoholic and sweet. Nice Dorwart (1812), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 28, 2004 (Vintage 2002) Thin but dense head of creamy bubbles. Great carbonation. Slightly sweet aroma of peaches, butterscotch and caramel. Color is a slightly cloudy dark amber/orange. Flavor is slightly sour with more fruit (banana), yeast and a touch of alcohol. Pretty good though. Finish is a little dry and clean. Not much aftertaste besides a gentle warming from inside a slight puckerng from the light sourness. A pretty good triple. biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 24, 2004 Almost still looking peach colored nectar. Aroma of yeast, bread, candied pears, caramel. Good body, more carbonated in the mouth than it looks, sharp fruity finish. Somewhat muddled flavors with yeast, banana, alcohol. I prefer a cleaner Tripel. kujo9 (1077), North Ridgeville, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Dec 15, 2004 12 oz bottle: Very turbid ligth amber w/ a short lived white head. laces well. Grainy malt and a soapy banana ester at first. Some sugary sweetness and light peppery yeast, and corn sugar aromas; light alcohol & flowery hop. Well balanced, but to the sweet side up front. Finish is malty sweet and a little acoholic. Aftertaste is clovey, peppery yeast and a little sweet grainy malt flavor. Biscuity, bready malt and yeast flavor in between along with a little fruitiness, sort of like juicy fruit gum. Smooth and warming, higher carbonation, lighter body. Not a bad tripel at all! Not a true classic, but very good representation. Highly drinkable! Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2004 This triple pours with a deep golden body topped by a thick head with great lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet yet tomatoy with a slight spiciness and a little citrus. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a little caramel and some candy sugar. Medium to full bodied and smooth.
