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.

Pours a glden orange out of the bottle with a massive bubbly white head. Aromas of soft fruits (banana, pear, papaya), floral notes, and bready yeast. Mouth feel is great! light airy bubbles fill your mouth and surround your tongue. Flavors are fairly similar to the nose, soft fruits, floral notes, some citrus (lemon), and a bready yeast. Nice slightly bitter finnish from the hops. Very good beer.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of yeast, pears, nectar, light cloves, slight lemon, slight caramel, and slight pepper. Poured gold/yellow/light orange in color with a large, fluffy, creamy, white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Good lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet, lightly bitter, and very floral. Tastes of pollen, fruit, yeast, nectar, slight lemon, sugar, slight pepper, and slight tropical fruit. Medium body. Slightly sticky, slightly chalky texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sweet, floral, pollen finish is lightly dry.

Pale yellow color with a fluffy white head. Aromas of wheat, citrus, and bananas. Strong flavor - mostly lemon and banana. Smooth on the palate, well-hidden alcohol, nice finish. Definitely an above average tripel.
