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.

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.

Bottle. Nice soft banana bread, apple, and clove nose. Hazy light gold body with a thick attractive foamy head. Soft mouthfeel with a touch of alcohol and CO2. Notes of brown sugar, alcohol, floral notes, cinnamon, watered down whisky, warming going down, cotton, and a big herbal/phenol presence I can’t put my finger on. Very enjoyable, one of the better Triples that I have had

Bottle, Hopduvel. Appears light golden with a creamy white head. Very balanced malts and hops usage. Aroma’s also evident of pear and banana esters. Spicy and alcohol warming with a smooth palate. Decent bitterness. A definition of the tripel style.
