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.

Hazy dull yellow with white head. Pleasant sweet and tart, musty aroma with hard candy, yeast, banana, some spiciness. Sharp in flavor with a balancing alcohol note. Very interesting flavors. Slightly floral, a bit earthy, somewhat herbal, with citrus highlights. Spritzy mouthfeel. Fast, spicy finish.

Just one of the finest belgium beers. A cloudy yellow coloured beer, fulle palate, spicy bitter taste.

A beautiful dark golden colored beer, with a very large white thick foamy head. A lot of aroma’s, a combination of caramel, fruits, like raisins. Also light spicy. A rich taste of banana, pine, honey and malt. It’s complex and balanced. A beer to enjoy on a nice summer day.

75cl bottle from Beer World Largo (Florida). Pours a cloudy honey amber (golden orange) with a thick white head that provides ample lacing on the glass. Aroma is spicy with notes of citrus, bread, yeast, lemon zest, and fresh spice. Medium to full bodied with noteworthy carbonation. Flavor is sweet honey, spice, and fresh flowers with a slightly bitter finish.

bouquet is floral but not the best of the upper echelon triples from Belgium. Slightly foamy when it hits your tongue but you are rewarded with a refreshing hoppy, sour chewiness of a Triple. It’s a 9% beer with smooth character but I would not pay $4.50 again for an 11.2 ouncer, I prefer some of the American Microbrew triples to this Belgian.

On tap. Hazy golden colour, thick creamy white head. Aroma of sour fruits, malts, yeast, sugar. Flavour is dense, sweet, malty, some yeast, very fruity. Sweet-sour finish with a hint of alcohol bitterness. Very nice.
