Lancaster Belgian Triple

An amber ale with a thin white head. A herbal aroma of catnip and sweet caramel. In mouth, a crisp malt with coriander, incense. Medium bodied. Tap at BCTC 2009.

Draft at Craft Ale. Pours hazy gold with off-white head. Nose is spicy yeast, floral, hoppy, and peppery. Tastes complex, with floral peppery notes, dusty yeasty spicy esters, and hopcitrus. Finish is complex, peppery, and spicy, with a very good balance and very nice complxity. Well hidden alcohol. One of LBCs best beers.

Draft at LBC Lancaster... one of the better beers from LBC but still not up to par where it should be... this tripel is less distinct then others... peppery finish but hides alcohol well.. could be better

Poured a light amber with a little head. Aroma was spicy, fruity and sweet. Flavor was spicy, sweet with cinnamon notes. Farily unique spice character with this one. The 11% alchol does not really come through, it is well disguised. I’d say this is fairly drinkable for a triple, fairly solid, nothing over the top.

Grolwer at Hopdogs. Pours a slight coppery haze with a thin lasting white head. Aroma is phenolic clovey yeast with some weird fruity esters- some pear and peach but also some acetaldehyde cider component. Sweet flavor upfront but dries out a bit in the end, honey, apple cider, ligth doughiness, spices and earthy phenolics from a westmalle like Belgian yeast- some cobwebby cookie dough stuff going on in the end there.

10 oz Draft at the brew pub. All beers at Lancaster Brewing certified being poured at 32 degrees (they didn’t get the memo I suppose). Poured cloudy straw gold in color with a small white head. Aroma of light citrus, fruity yeast esters, with a fair amount of spice. Tastes much of the same, some honey, cloves, and light hops. Finishes with pepper and light alcohol.

Poured a lightly hazy, golden color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of bananas, clove, citrus, vanilla, honey, and floral hops. Taste of honey, banana, clove, toffee malts, toast, citrus, and peppery alcohol.

Sampled from Growler that was filled about an hour before we drank from it. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of fruitiness, lighter spiciness, and floralness. Tastes of lighter fruitiness, spices, citrus, floral, and caramel. Alcohol content very well hidden.
