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.

Hazy, "cerise de terre" colored, good head but poor retention, yet the bubbling is small and compact. Aroma of butter, ripe lemon, pear and pepper. The aroma is not bright, in terms of intensity and 3d. Flavor is moderately sweet and taken over by an ethylic bitterness, perhaps somewhat reminiscent of wood. The texture is buttery, oily and smooth, even sensual! Very enjoyable, but could be more precisely defined as for the aroma and flavor.

75 cl. bottle pours a light amber fluid with a decent two finger white head. Smells peppery, lemongrass.Medium bodied with a bubbley, lively mouthfeel. Superb lemongrass, black pepper, leather, and woody oak wine barrel taste. Finishes with a slight hop - alcohol tang. Another great Belgium triple.2003

Just looking through some rates and I seem to disagree with most. This seems fairly heavy and I can taste the aclohol. Liqourice possibly, I don’t like that.All that said, I’m enjoying it. Sharp flavours that if I knew more about beer I could tell you. Try one, very nice. Re-rate hmmm much better now. Love it.

Pours a cloudy golden color into the tulip glass. An inch of fluffy white head stuck around for a while. Scents of bananas, malt and spices. Beautiful fruity tastes with malt and yeast in the finish. Excelleny tripel.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES, AN ABSOLUTE PARTY IN THE MOUTH, POURS A CLOUDY GOLDEN COLOR, AROMA IS SWEET, LIKE FRUITS OR ALMOST CANDY, FLAVOR IS THE SAME, HINTS OF HONEY AND FRUIT WITH THAT VERY PRESENT 9% ALC, FULL MOUTH, NOT A VERY LINGERING AFTERTASTE BUT GOES DOWN SMOOTH, AND LEAVES YOU IN A SMOOTH STATE, VERY GOOD
