Alesmith Mikkeller Stone Belgian Style Tripel Ale

Formerly brewed at Stone Brewing Co.
Style: Abbey Tripel
Escondido, California USA

Bottle thanks to frndthdvl. Pours a hazy light amber in color. Only about half an inch of head forms, even with a rigorous pour into my Duvel glass. Smell is is spicy and a good amount of light yeast. Taste is more bitter. There’s a solid amount of green grapes, some citrus and sweetness. A high amount of carbonation as well. Highly floral in the nose. The beer itself is opening up quite a bit as I let it warm up. A bit more alcohol after it warms as well. This has gotten remarkably better as it warms. Decent beer.

Golden in color with a small white head. The aroma is hoppy with notes of vanilla and yeast. The flavor is hoppy as well with an overtone of bananas and citrus. The texture is syrupy. It’s a very good beer. I like it alot =)

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, deep golden with a basically absent head. Aroma of fruit, yeast and alcohol. Medium body, some lightly sweet malt and fruit with a lightly bitter finish. Maybe my expectations were too high from this collaboration, the result is just another ordinary Tripel. 130908

Bottle thanks to my good friend, Praetorian. Clear, golden body with a small, fluffy, off-white head. Aroma is Stone hops and belgian yeast, with notes of fruit, honey, and alcohol. Taste is fruity, yeasy, and good. Lightly fizzy, clean mouthfeel. Would drink this any day (if it was avaialble).

Bottle from South Bay Drugs. Viewed as a straw gold ale with a thin layer of film for a head. The aroma is mild with Belgian yeast being scented but under no circumstances pressured to be bold or over powering. Texture is smooth and has little amount of carbonation. The flavor is metallic with the undeniable taste of alcohol unhidden and up front but there is some minor spicing from the yeast here.

Golden with a lasting white head. Aroma is hoppy, peach, grass and citrus, with a fruity pineapple and spicy yeast note in the back. Juicy peach and tangerine flavour, rather sweet with a little alcohol, nice balancing hop bitterness.

Bottle. Pours gold, with a white head. Aroma is hops, fruit, and has a floral touch. Flavor is hops, grapefruit , and oranges, yeast, and spices. This is a nice one. Thanks to weeheavysd for this bottle.

Bottle via Hophead22, huge thanks! Pous a medium golden color with a medium sized, fine, white head. Aroma is floral, pepper, yeast, light fruit. Flavor is doughy, pepper, light fruits, floral, grains, spice. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished with a floral hop bitterness. Very nice balance of flavors. Good stuff!
