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 pale golden colour with a large white head. Aroma is of caramell and fruity esters. Flavour is quite sweet with caramell and dried fruit, light estery with a balanced ending. Quite a good tripel even though its on the sweet side.

Pours a hazy golden sunshine colour with a typically belgian head. Lovely aroma of dried apricots and light citrus with an undercurrent of grasses, toast and fairly unintrusive alcohol. The flavour is not terribly complex, though neither is it boring - fairly dry, with a bit of sweetness in the middle giving way to a nice, dry, lightly hoppy finish. It is not particularly weighty on the palate, though it does have a touch of oiliness with medium-fine carbonation. The finish is somewhat short.

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.

Bright, but hazy golden color with lot of bubbles and extremely well-formed fluffy white head, that provides a massively cohesive lacing. The aroma is full of wonderful peppery coriander and aromatic hops. The flavor is also full of citruses and mild hop resin oils. A few atributes that i can say is coriander, honey malts, pine oil, orange peel and a lot of citruses of course. A finish is more on the sweet, malty side. A lot more easier bodied one than expected. Amazing in it’s own style, reminiscent Tripel Karmeliet and maybe a bit more flavorful?? I don’t know but i’ll research it.

Bottle. Poured gold with an nice thick white head. Aroma was complex with notes of citrus peels, sweet malts, coriander, brown sugar, cereal and bananas. Flavor was not as complex, sweet with fruit like banana and apples with an undertone of spice and malt.

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!
