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.

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.

Pale yellow color with a fluffy white head. Aromas of wheat, citrus, and bananas. Strong flavor - mostly lemon and banana. Smooth on the palate, well-hidden alcohol, nice finish. Definitely an above average tripel.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a murky golden colour with a big head and almost no carbonation. Very clear and fruity sweet smell. Oranges, apple and raisins there, also some others smells I can’t exactly define. Taste is very fruity and welcoming, great flavour and goes down with a slight bit of warmth. Great Abbey Tripel!

Pours a dark golden color. Not overly cloudy. Lacing on the glass as you drink. Aroma of banna and bubble gum. Well balanced flavor, the hops are subdued and the taste is spicy and a bit sweet.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden body with a white 2 finger head. Floral with nice belgian fruits, lemon, bananas, and berries. Bubble gum and lightly spiced. Good beer.
