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.

On tap, from old notes. Pours a hazy deep gold with fluffy white foam, decent retention and lacing. Aroma is fairly heavy on banana like yeast notes with some candy-ish sugar notes and hints of coriander and Saaz hops. Flavor is fairly sweet, good bit of banana, lots of coriander, very nice hoppiness in the finish. A very complex, if not a little too sweet, Tripel

Pours cloudy, tan, with a fine, white, moderate head. Aroma is spicy with citrus and banana. Full mouth feel. Very peppery, spicy, with citrus and banana qualities. Pleasantly, and lightly, complex.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a white lasting head. Small sediments floating around in the beer. Caramel malty aroma with a slight yeasty spice note beneath, minor orange peel aroma too. Spiced caramel malty flavour, somewhat astringent and far from as mellow as other triples. Finish has a rather warming alcohol finish.

750 Ml Bottle-Poured a hazy, golden/orange color w/a moderate foamy head. Classic Belgian aroma, sweet flavors of cane sugar, orange peel, colander, & bread dough. Very smooth & flavorful, easy drinking brew. Alcohol is well hidden. Long spicy finish. This one was a keeper, would age well, but it’s good now.

On draft at the brewery tap, March 2007. Gold coloured with a large white head. Aroma of sweet malt, coriander and citrus. The flavour had more spice, honey and a dry finish. Very enjoyable.

330ml brown bottle. Gold in colour, huge white head. Aroma is sweet with caramel and orange notes, also some spice. Sweet malt flavour with orange, lemon and honey. Spicy yeast and citrus come out in the dry finish. Medium body, crisp tingly carbonation. Het Anker’s beers continue to impress me.

not too spicey, but a little peppery; some honey sweetness; lemon notes; pleasent yeastiness; some mango and orange fruitiness; dry finish; yum.
