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.

A hazy golden ale with a thick creamy white head. A pleasant aroma of juniper, candy sugar and warming alcohol. In mouth, a spicy savoury ale with coriander, cream, warming alcohol and almost coconut like notes. Very interesting. Bieropholie import, tasted around May 2007.

Bottled. Pours deep orange with some small light sediment pieces floating around and a white head. Aroma is banana, clove, slight hint of barbasol shaving cream, belgian yeast, and spices. Flavor is sweet belgian yeast, banana, and well spiced. Good solid body with a slight hint of barbasol throughout the experience.

11.2oz. Hazy golden pour with a white head. Spice and malt in the aroma. Hoppy and hugely fruity - apples, pear nectar, tangerine. Matching flavor - sticky and sweet. Decent finish. Nice beer.

Light fruit malt aroma. Cloudy golden color with a large white head. Light beginning with a tangy and sweet middle. The sweetness fades in the finish leaving a strong tangy aftertaste.

Aroma is fresh bananas. Flavor has a hop bite with a sweet body. Like an evil ex :) Bitter finish with sweet notes. Definite Bazooka Bubblegum notes in this one.

Draft - Brasserie Beck. Hazed yellow, thin foamy white head. Initial aromas of cotton candy perfume warm to notes of anise and coriander. Room temp bring out notes of sweet bready citrus. Honeyed fuzzy fruit and waxy spice flavors ride touches of floral grassiness. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, fruity finish. A good sipper on this warm summer afternoon...

750 ml bottle. A cloudy golden beer with a generous and persistent white head. Nice aroma, quite powerful and hoppy, with notes of flowers, grass, citric fruits, spices and some alcohol. The flavour is quite sweet, not totally but enough balanced, and with spicy and fruity notes. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, long finish with medium bitterness and some alcohol. Very good tripel, quite drinkable for its size.
