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.

White full lasting head. Amber color. Aroma is moderately sweet, fruity with apricots and light alcohol notes. Flavor is malty, sweet with fruity (ripe pear and peach) tones and a light spicy accent, ending in a moderately sweet finish. Medium bodied.

A very nice Tripel. Appearance is a little weak. Spicy, full, and smooth flavor. Hoppiness is light.

Very nice triple with light yellowish head, a citrucy aroma and a full, fruity flavor. Light spiciness. It has a slightly bitter finish and hides the alcohol quite well.

Pours a lightly hazy bronze with a frothy and thinly-lacing white head. Aroma has a touch of vanilla and licorice with some bready Belgian yeast and a hint of light fruit. Starts with nice caramel malty sweetness, some yeasty esters, and a touch of peppery spice toward a dry bready finish. Hides the alcohol quite well. A nice tripel.

Think Karmeliet with a little more spice and a little less sweetness. Not bad. Lots of floaties, though.

Large head on this cloudy golden body. Excellent taste for a blonde. Taste has sweet notes, honey or other, citrus fruits and spices. Alcohol is well hidden and the general impression is excellent. A pleasure to drink. Finish is bitter.
