| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Apr 22, 2004 Nice golden hue and almost no head. One bottle had decent lacing while the other had no lacing at all. Wow, a great grassy nose with banana and spicy notes. The flavor is banana, bubble gum, and buttery sweet. A decent alcohol aftertaste lingers on the end. Very nice. A slightly higher ABV and a drier finish would make this my favorite tripel. Complex in its subtlety. I prefer this to chimay white or tripel karmeliet anyday. sloth (1684), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2004 Small white head short lived. Lightly hazy gold color with a light orange hue. Fruity nose with hints of ripe melon.. Medium body, creamy textured and a fine carbonation. Full fruity flavor with delicate black pepper notes and a faint spiceyness, hops? Finish is semi sweet. Nuthin fancy just a good Triple brewed for a damn good cause. Thanks to SDbruboy for a chance at this one, you rock bro! Volgon (2490), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2004 Small white head over a hazy deep yellow body. Light bready malts, clove, apples, oranges and spicy yeast make up the aroma. Lively carbonation with small bubbles. Starts slightly sweet and ends a little more sweet. Very easy to drink. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2004 This beer was offered to me by the great beerguy101..go mitch! It pours a very clear goldeny yellow color with a considerable amount of carbonation but very little head..just a few soapy islands clinging to the side of my glass. Very typical belgian yeastiness in the nose with hints of alcohol and oranges. I found this to be a very smooth and nice belgian brew. Wonderful yeast strains went into this. Very nice banana and souring hop qualities in the finish. Hints of orange and call me nuts, honey in the finish...very sweet malts. Not bad at all... vector (163), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 15, 2004 A good cause, but a medicre beer. I *really* like the stone beers I've had because they are so outlandish in their liberal use of hops and other flavorings. Sawyers is just boring when put up against stone IPA or arrogant bastard. This beer pours a clear garnet with almost no head. Mild hop flavor, sweet malts. Dry mouthfeel. Bannana notes on the aroma. Could use about 10x more ingredients. I'm hard on this beer because I like other Stone beers so much. fly (1333), austin, Tejas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 11, 2004 I'll admit to wanting to like this. And glad to say it didn't take any stretch to acheive that. Aroma that met even an ornery nose as mine. Pleasant esters that tickle the tongue and give a soft feeling. Smooth and pleasant. A very nice tribute. Thank you so much for sharing Joe(t) pivo (2537), Germany
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2004 Pungent nose - yeasty, bright orange color, no head. Thin start with some coriander. Creamy malt residue. Very respectable. Light, smooth and refreshing. A little alcohol, but doesn't come across too strong.
