Perfumed, somewhat cloying, sweet fruit aroma. Cloudy yellow hue, tanned blanket head. Fruity (apples, peaches, tropical) and flowery base flavor, earthy potatolike aftertaste.
Light mouthfeel, slightly sparkly.

Jan 13, 2006 Cloudy amber with a big lasting creamy white head. The aroma is sweet and citrussy/toffee-ish, the flavour is sweet citrus and alcholic with a touch of spice but i like it. Kind of different to the other Tripels i’ve had but will deff try again.

Jan 10, 2006 Bottle (330ml). Poured murky deep orange with an average white creamy head. Aroma of yeast, sweet roast caramel malt, spices - a fruity, malty treat. Taste follows directly on, with alcohol and a little musty woodiness in the mix - sryupy, sharp and warming, moderately lively. Very nice, I like all the Gouden Carolus offerings I’ve tried immensely.

Jan 10, 2006 Aroma of honey, spice, alcohol, yeast, and fruit. Flavor is sweet, fruity with a medium body and soft palate. A bit of alcohol in there as well. Very well balanced and very tasty. No characteristic is too dominant, but the most dominant is fruit. Light chewy malt. Complex.

Jan 7, 2006 Pour is par for a tripel, with an aroma of wildflowers and a little alcohol. Reasonably lively on the palate with above average acidiity. A little vinous and sharp, but warm and toasty almost gives it proper balance. Finish is crisp. Less sweet and more wild than most of this type.

Jan 4, 2006 Pours cloudy, straw yellow with a large, frothy head. Very earthy, woody nose. Spritzy on the tongue, with a generous bite of hops. Aftertaste is dry with just a hint of the alcohol, and lingering esters. Different, but good.

Dec 20, 2005 Poured from the bottle this beer appears a light gold with a bubbly good head. Aroma is spicy with grassy hops and has a lemon grass, banana fruit accent. Peppery flavor with a larger bitter hop presence than a traditional Tripel. The bottle mentions "imperial ale"which is quite fitting. Has a "mellow balance" in the finish with a touch of sweet banana left on the tougue. Mostly dry but lively and fizzy moutfeel. An unusual but quite good Tripel.

Dec 16, 2005 pours a really light golden yellow color with a large, foamy lasting head and lots of sticking lacing. Aroma is grassy and hoppy and smells very Belgian. Flavor reminds me a little of dish soap and pepper. Slightly warming and bubbly on the palate.
