4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Smells like a triple, tastes like a triple, looks like a triple! This triple delivers on all levels. The nose is complex, the taste well balanced and the color a lovely cloudy golden yellow. Stoudts delivers again...as always!

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle. Poured an amber color. Huge ABV in this beer and you can really taste it. Matly with hints of citrus. Decent beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Had both the 2003 Abbey Triple vintage and the 2009 new version. Early vintaged bottle at Pilsner Pete’s RBSG. Pours a clear amber. Nose and taste is very sweet, beet sugar, molasses. I thought the newer vintage was a little sweeter and poured clearer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Nice wheat y, malty, banana aroma. Cloudy amber, with small head. A bit fizzy, but OK. Tastes of wheat, some malt, and banana. Sweet after.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark orange/yellow hues, flaky sediments, fizzy head that recedes quickly (looks comparable to apple cider). Aromas of yeasts, banana, clove, spices, bread, melon. Flavors yeasty with spiced undertones, light banana and melon, ending with a slight alcoholic ester. For a triple this is average and not much more. Flavors don’t bite and nothing jumps out. Sweet, dry, lightly bitter. A decent triple but it blends in with so many out there. Easily forgettable.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a deep gold with a creamy off-white head, a ton of fine rising bubblesand wispy lace. The nose is a bright, lightly spicy/peppery yeast over clean slightly fruity malt. Medium-bodied and moderately spicy with a dry finish. The flavor is a pleasant blend of pear and white pepper notes tied together by a light, clean malt backing. This is a really nice beer.
