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 true tripel in appearance and flavor. Nice thick uneven foamy head. Fairly thick palate as well. Bit too hoppy for me.

This one pours an appetizing golden yellow with a very thick, fine-bubbled, persistent head. Aroma is rather strong, fruity, yeasty and malty. Flavor is rich and mouth-filling, fruity and malty with a yeasty undertone. Texture is delightfully fizzy and tingly, smooth underneath. Worth finding.

Bottled. Pours golden And slightly hazy with a medium sized white head. Good lacing. Nose of spices, caramel and fruit. Sweet spicy flavour with malt, wheat, fruit and spices. Medium bodied. An enjoyable brew.

Radegast: trappist: rockin brew! Sloppy pour by the barmaid left way too much head, which I let settle. The pour is hazy golden yellow, the nose was complex... yeasts, some roasted notes, also some fruits/ sugars. The taste is very complex... the alcohol is immediately noticeable however the carbonation, roasted malts and sweetness (unexpected) make this very well balanced!

Pours hazy, yellow with HUGE white head. Great lacing. Aroma of spice and hops. Taste of slight floral hops and yeast. Nice spices in the finish. Highly carbonated. Way too easy drinking at 9%.

Cloudy yellow-orange, thin white head. Aroma is very faint, hard to place. Flavor is deep, but with some bitterness. Pretty fizzy mouthfeel. Not my favorite tripel.

Smells of alcohol. Pours with the biggest head EVER seen by me. Seriously, 99% head or so. And I poured on the side of the glass. Crazy. Very carbonated. Very pleasant palate and flavour after the head dies down. Slightly floral? Malty, yeasty, and smooth. Well balanced. Nice.

This was a nice representative of type. Nice if modest head, cloudy golden sweet but plenty of pear and other fruit flavbrs. Finishes well also.
