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.

Sweet, caramel malt aroma. Spicy, mild hops. Golden body with fizzy white head that recedes to fine cover. Sweet malt, bitter orange, yeast, light spicy hops on the tongue. Smooth, easy to drink, effervescent. Very enjoyable. Bottle (sampled at Mondial 2004).

The body is a reddish copper with a huge white head. Nice rich aroma of caramel and pears. Taste has golden delicious apples. Also a full, creamy mouthfeel. the taste has caramel and a nice cinnamon spice finish. Alcohol is present, but not distracting. A nice tripel, but nothing to get excited about.

About 5 years old. Aromas of light caramel, malt and some spice. Hazy, light ripe apricot color with a head that did not hang around. Starts with ripe fruit flavor, moves to Belgian candy, then on to spicy malt, ending a bit hoppy with balancing caramel / lightly roasted maltiness. Very lightly spritzy carbonation. Most everything about this tastiness is that it’s light. No one thing unreasonably dominates.

Bottle Conditioned. From BeersOfEurope. BBE Dec 2005. Pale gold with thin foam head. Spicy orange liquor aroma. Dense tingly mouthfeel. Alcohol all over the place. I really should stop drinking these damn strong beers so young. Like a tingly, thinner, paler, spicier Barley Wine. I don't think I'm really a fan of Tripels.
