Commercial Description:
Sawyer’s Triple is based upon the traditional "Golden Triple" style of strong ale, hailing from Belgium, and weighs in at 7.6% alc/vol. The brew is deep golden in color with a distinctive spicy, sweet and hoppy nose. Effervescent carbonation leads to a modestly dry malt character with hoppy flavors and alcohol overtones. Sawyer’s Triple was formulated and brewed by Bill Sherwood.

A spicy triple that doesn't really drift too far from the norm. The beer is just loaded down with Belgian yeast, which definitely dominates the flavor, but there are little whisps of coriander or curacao or something of the sort. Slightly musty, but totally yeastified.

Golden color, virtually no head on my pour and little carbonation in the glass--just slow trickles. Thick body but each sip produced a rush of life on the tongue. Tons of spice in the aroma and flavor--raisin, pepper, bubblegum. Thanks to Adwoan for the trade.

Light bright lemony golden color. Maltesers chocolate nose, alcoholic and fruity. Big alcohol kick at the front, quite sweet, hints of banana. Nice aroma, but overall too sweet and somewhat boring for a triple.

Bottle. Rich golden color with minimal head. Strong spicey clove flavor. Medium to full body. The aroma is quite enjoyable with sugar, corriander, orange, and clove. Thanks to Nuffield for sharing this with me.

Bright gold brew with bright white head. Very soft presence of hops, Belgian yeast sweet malt adds to the picture. Complex brew that some might not notice such fact due to its softness.

Clear orange hue. Taste is full and malty, a lot of spicey tastes up in the palate. Finish is similar. Tastes like corriander and cinnimon. Alcohol is well masked.

Thanks to TChrome for the trade. As if buying beer wasn't an enjoyable enough experience, doing it for a good cause makes it all the better! This is one of the more enjoyable Tripels I have had to boot. Pours a lightly cloudy and bright yellow-orange/apricot color with a medium thin white head. Thin and quick lacing. Aroma of citrus, banana and hops. Medium-bodied with a nice blend of citrus, pepper, coriander and apricot. The finish has a bit of alcohol kick to it, along with some fruit.
