Flavor

Taste of cracker malt leads to sour fruits of pear and apple. Yeast and spice round out a dry, phenolic finish. Sweet honey from the underlying malt ties the palate together.

Mouthfeel

Mouthfeel has a medium body and moderate carbonation.

Overall

Three Little Pigs a nice representation of the style, but not one that measures up to the better Tripels found in Belgium. Regardless, it’s pretty good for an American-brewed Tripel and should you find yourself in Rockingham County, a visit to the brewery is certainly warranted.
