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.

Mild banana and spice aroma, beautiful head, golden and delicious. Floral notes and some caramel, plenty of yeast flavor throughout. A great beer.

Thick firm head, golden orange body, slightly cloudy. Peach(baked), citrus, and sweet malt nose. Very fruity, yet hint of malt character. Light alcohol presence. Very nice finish.

Had high expectations for this one. Golden pour like most Belgian ales. Aroma was fruity. I detected some strawberry and my buddy detected slight hints of green apple. Quite a bit of head but quickly diminishes. This is one of my favorites.

Nice opalescent golden body with a fantastic stable and foamy white head. Very intensive aroma of the style with tons of malt, coriander, orange peel, fruity esters, liqueric alcohol. Very alluring! And the flavor....Oily texture with a smooth mouthfeel, malt at the start. After a second the flavor-bomb exploses. Coriander, fine fruity sourish-tart taste, orange peel, coriander and hop...Well hidden alcohol numbling my palate and warming me up. Absolutely tripel style, i will search the beer anywhere!

A sejtelmesen homályos és mély aranysárga színű sör tetején koronaként pompázik a hatalmas gyönyörű és buborékos hab,ami stabilan tart.Illata fehér borsos,korianderes és citrusos és csiklandozza az orrot.Íze fantasztikusan összetett.Fűszeres,nagyon malátás és aszalt sárgabarackos amin átérezni a komlók fenyőgyantás olajait és kis muskotályos szőlő zamatot is.Ezek az ízek folyamatosan kergetik egymást a szájban,miközben az apró kis buborékok folyamatosan bizsergetik a nyelvet.Testes ital és az alkohol is kellemesen bódít és melegít.Utóíze komlósan száraz és gyümölcsös aminek a legvége hasonlít a mandarinhéjra,hosszan tart.Úgy érzem lett egy új kedvencem a "Csak a jó sör" segítségének köszönhetően.

do any of the beers on tap at Eulogy Belgian Tavern in Philly disappoint? apparently not. beautiful murky blood-orange egg-yoke body with a tiny white fizz rim head. smells of grass and citrus. tastes slightly bitter, light-citrus hops. becomes more bitter toward the end. hints of grapefruit. very tasty.

This one pours an appetizing golden yellow with a very thick, fine-bubbled, persistent head. Aroma is rather strong, fruity, yeasty and malty. Flavor is rich and mouth-filling, fruity and malty with a yeasty undertone. Texture is delightfully fizzy and tingly, smooth underneath. Worth finding.
