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.

Bottle. Murky gold color like an unsettled wort. Frothly white head that isn’t going anywhere. Carbonation is there, but hard to see through the cloudiness. Aroma is packed with honey, nutmeg, orange peel, an other assorted spices. A tingly flavor leaning toward citrus and nutmeg but a fair amount of hops to balance the sweet. What your left with is a warm alcohol finsih like a good brandy. Admirably light palate handling the 9% alcohol with ease. A quencing brew that will warm you up and make you smile.

On Tap @Toronado on 3/30/07. Pours straw with a thin white head. The aroma was sweet with candied sugar. The taste was also sweet but also slightly hoppy. Very good tripel.

Poured into Trappist glass. Deep gold color, lacing present. Well formed slightly off-white one finger head that quickly dissipates. Perfumy aroma. Slightly malty flavor with hops dominating. Medium bitterness. I don’t notice the alcohol. Not bad, but I’ve had better tripels.

On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse. Nice tripel that I have been waiting a while to try. Pour was a cloudy gold with a finger head. Aroma was sweet and yeasty. Taste was strong and different than I’ve had for a tripel. Tasted like a yeasty dry Belgian with crushed up Fruity Pebbles in it yet had some citrus and lemon in the background. Perfumy in the mouth and in the swallow. This is a unique beer.

This beer looks like a brick of gold. It’s a bit hazy and has a small white head. The aroma is juicy and carries something herbal and something barn-like. It hits the tounge with a juicy sizzle. It’s fluffy and perhaps a bit alkaline. The flavor is malt, citrus... It’s tangy, sour and plenty bitter. Lemon peel is the flavor that dominates. A good tripel.

do any of the beers on tap at Eulogy Belgian Tavern in Philly disappoint? apparently not. beautiful murky blood-orange egg-yoke body with a tiny white fizz rim head. smells of grass and citrus. tastes slightly bitter, light-citrus hops. becomes more bitter toward the end. hints of grapefruit. very tasty.

Bottle. 11.2 FL. OZ. Pours a golden brown color with a very active head that starts out big then quickly diminishes to almost nothing. Strong aroma of raisin and butterscotch. Light to medium bodied with some lively carbonation. Very sweet flavor that covers the alcohol nicely.
