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.

Taster at The Mondial de la biere 08 in Montreal. The color is a hazy blonde with a white head. The aroma is pleasant. The taste is of malt and grapes and citrus fruits, with just a bit of hops. This is a very very good example of a tripel sbbey.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Gold, thick rocky head. Perfumed aroma. It’s rather a good tripel, nice strongish hop on the finish. Slight peach on aroma. Settles down into an alright tripel. I quite liked it. Decent hop on finish. Bit of hot alcohol.

Pours a pale hazy yellow with a two finger creamy white head. The nose was sweet, yeasty, grapes, spicy, some white pepper, cardamom, orange peel and lemongrass show as it warms. The flavor was sweet, nice spicy/yeasty character, curacao, hoppyness shows as it warms, peppery. I’d have to say this is one of my favorite tripels, very nice and very gratifying as it warms.

Wait a minute, Ethan just turned 21? I have been contributing to his delinquency for over a year now! Gold pour with a slight haze. Fluff white head a typical Gouden lace. Complex aroma, very fruity. Flavor is loads of fruit, malts and yeast. Well balanced and complex!

Bottle shared by aubreya at Milltown in honor of Ethan’s 21st bday. Congrats, bro! I didn’t take any notes on this one, but it was very nice indeed. Solid tripel with alcohol well hidden. I kind of wish I would have taken notes. Very enjoyable.

My store recently received this beer not too long ago. I was told by the employee that this was his favorite of the brand that they currently had in stock, so I went ahead and bought a four-pack. This is some amazing beer. The appearance is wonderful. I had a taste of it very cold, and it was great, but I think when it warmed up a little bit, it hit the spot just right. Overall, this is probably one of the best beers I have been able to try in my location.
