Commercial Description:
In spite of modern brewing technology, this beer is brewed according to ancient traditions. It unites, now as in the past, the best products of our soil: rich barley and fine hops.. It's refined character, with a pure and rich taste, will captivate you. It is matured at length in cellar and bottle, and is guaranteed to be brewed only from pale malts. It is traditionally top-fermented and is 100% pure. The Gouden Carolus Triple has a unique colour and a full flavour due to its well-balanced hopping. To properly savour the Golden Carolus “Triple”, pour slowly in one movement leaving the yeast deposit in the bottle. This beer may be served cool but not chilled: 7-8°C is recommended. In 2002 this beer won the Gold Award in the World Beer Cup, San Diego, USA in the “Triple” category.

Yay I finally reached 100 ratings. This one was a good choice for it. Has a light gold color with a nice thick white head. Smells of malts with hints of fruits and hops. Has a nice flavor full of yeast particles. A little bit of a bitter aftertaste but that is to be expected from a higher alcohol content. Overall a this one was a pleasant experience.

I paid $4.55 at the Northcoast Coop in Eureka. This poured a clear golden color with a nice fat white head and copious lacing. Nose of citrus and fruit, with some clove spice. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel, but not unpleasant. Flavor is yeasty with lots of fruits. Very nice to drink.

Bottle at Brouwers. Pours a light gold with a huge head. Highly carbonated, almost to the point of champagne. Mild citrus notes, with a bubble-gum sweetness and a good amount of hops showing through, too. Also a bit of yeast. It has a slightly harsh palate - there is not a lot of substance to counter the high carbonation - but the flavor is great.

On tap at The Front Door Boise, Pours out a straw topped with a tall white head. Aroma of spice and all sorts of tasty fruit. Tast of spice clove, sweetness, yeast, and more of the fruit. A very complex one. Tasty would love to try again.

Pours a glden orange out of the bottle with a massive bubbly white head. Aromas of soft fruits (banana, pear, papaya), floral notes, and bready yeast. Mouth feel is great! light airy bubbles fill your mouth and surround your tongue. Flavors are fairly similar to the nose, soft fruits, floral notes, some citrus (lemon), and a bready yeast. Nice slightly bitter finnish from the hops. Very good beer.
