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.

This beer looks kewl, it has a massive mountain of white foam and a very cloudy yellowy brown body. The smell is sweet with yeast and lemon being the biggest aspects of the smell; I could also pick caramel and banana, as beer got warmer. The beer feels thick and smooth in my mouth with not too much carbonation. Full, full flavour doesn’t taste watered down one bit. There’s kind of an orangey wood flavour to this brew and I like it. Yeast is an other flavour that quit prevalent, I also got creamy caramel at the back of my throat. The beer has lots of creamy citrus juice flavours hidden in the taste, this is a very complex beer. It’s a simply amazing beer very easy drinking and you can’t taste the high alc. content at all."

Bottle. Fruits, wheat and malt in aroma. Slightly unclear golden yellow colour with white head. Fruity and malty flavour with some caramel and discrete hops bitterness. Soft mouthfeel despite moderate carbonation.

Very nice blonde beer with fine fruit taste. A little bit worse than the classic one but really ok. One of the best blonde belgians and really worth a try.

bottle, pours light yellow, tall white head. Aroma is floral hop and corriander. Light malt, slightly sweet mixed with corriander and a nice bitter hop finish. Moderately carbonated with a light mouthfeel. This is a great tripel!

Bottle. A quite strong aroma of yeast, some champagne and bread, very little sweetness. The head is very large, foamy and white with a long duration. The body is orange. The taste is very sour, a malty aftertaste. the finish is medium long and mild. The body is creamy and lively with a lot of carbonation and a medium strong body.
