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. Poured a golden color with a 3 finger head very carbonated. Aroma of clove and roses. Taste of citrus and very sweet.

750. Very hazy golden/light brown with a medium to large off white head. Aroma is malty and sweet with a touch of spices. Taste is sweet unattenuated caramel malt, covers up almost all the spice and yeast characteristics of this beer. I have no idea of what happened with this one, considering the other ratings. wow, what a dissapointment.

750ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow, with a thin quarter inch head that slowly fades away to nothing, leaving behind only small traces of lacing. Smell; very yeasty, with bananas and a little citrus. There’s also some nice bready malts with a touch of peppery spices. Taste; as with the aroma, the yeasts are right up front in the flavor of this one. The fruits are present with bananas and some citrus, with a little bit of peaches thrown in. Even with those fruits, they don’t become overwhelming, which I sometimes have a prolem with. Some candied sugar and bread dough malts come out in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and seems to fit this beer very well, with a very nice drinkability

Nice golden color, surprisingly clear, with a very thick layer of soft cream-colored suds. Beautiful lace clings to the glass as I savor every sip. Bold sweet malt with honey, alcohol, a little peppery spice, and a faint bubblegum taste. Finishes on the dry side, with the alcohol being dominant. Then some residual sweetness. As I pour the third glass (my wife had the second glass) the color is more murky and amber from the yeast I stirred up. I swear there is more alcohol in the flavor now than before.

Bottle, 33 cl. Hazy golden with white head. Sweet and tart aroma with candy, yeast, some spiciness. Interesting flavors. Fast, sweet, spicy, dry finish. Taste the strong alcohol.

Bottle, thin creamy off white head. Fruity and malty aromas amd sweet malty taste. A bit sweety for my liking but not a bad triple.

Interesting brew. Cloudy dark orange color. Aroma and flavor both are strongly reminding me of wine or old port. A bit sweet and a small amount of bitterness too in the flavor. Overall a nice and interesting brew.

0.33l bottle at home. Yellow with thin white head. Some lacing remained on the glass. Spicy aroma with hint of orange and alcohol. Thick smooth mouthful. Taste is sweet at the beginning and spicy bitter at the end. Long warm feeling after you have a sip. Good triple.
