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. Pours a hazy golden yellow with some sediment. Nose was sweet and fruity. Head was big and frothy, left nice lacing. On the palet it was very creamy. Again very fruity and sweet. A great triple!

It wasa difficult for me to find this beer in Brussels,when I did, found it hoppy and balanced especially for a beer of such strength.

Bottled. Pours a slightly hazy medium orange/golden color. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Some candy-like sugary scents. A dark almost vinous quality along with yeast as well. Flavor is dark and rich. Some yeast and a hint of grain. Some fig and/or raisin. A touch of alcohol in the finish. Good tripel.

75 cl. bottle pours a light amber fluid with a decent two finger white head. Smells peppery, lemongrass.Medium bodied with a bubbley, lively mouthfeel. Superb lemongrass, black pepper, leather, and woody oak wine barrel taste. Finishes with a slight hop - alcohol tang. Another great Belgium triple.2003

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.

On Tap at Dopey’s Elixir. Strong Tripe with hints of fruit, honey and banana. Prickly mouthful ends in prickly finish. Somewhat tart. Very good.

Bottle at home. Yellow with a large white head, fine lacings. Aroma heavy malty (fruity, citrus notes). Flavor heavy sweet. Full body, strong in alcohol.

Draft - Brasserie Beck. Hazed yellow, thin foamy white head. Initial aromas of cotton candy perfume warm to notes of anise and coriander. Room temp bring out notes of sweet bready citrus. Honeyed fuzzy fruit and waxy spice flavors ride touches of floral grassiness. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, fruity finish. A good sipper on this warm summer afternoon...
