Bottle from Regional. Pours slightly cloudy golden with a thick smooth white head. A sweet nose on this one, smells like a tripel should! Aromas of clove, citrus, corriander and sweet wheat beer character. Aroma is dominated by clovey citrus. Flavour is full of citrus and clove, with a sprinkling of corriander, spice, and a sweet malt flavour. Spice lingers with the sweetness. No alcohol detected at all, this drinks so easily and at 8% you’re feeling quite nice at the end of the glass. This is the closest thing to the original Westmalle Tripel I’ve found yet. A simply first-rate beer. When tasted next to a Westmalle Tripel the flavours are much more pronounced with a far longer aftertaste in the Westmalle. Tripel Karmeliet is the perfect introduction to the Tripel style of beer.

75cl. corked Bottle. Pours verry bubbly which carries over to the taste. Excellent smooth belgian wheat taste, and I say that even though I am not a huge fan of belgians. Not a whole lot of character, flavor, or happenings beyond the wheat, but I will note that this smells like a bowl of lemons, and has a slight lemon taste as well. Decent.

Pours a hazy yellow with a full white head that laces the glass. Smells of citrus, oranges. Tastes smooth with citrus and coriander. A great tripel.

Pours a hazy, straw color from 330 ml bottle, forming a white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Aroma of cloves, malts, hops and black pepper. Flavour of banana, yeast, malts, spices and peppery pears. Extremely smooth and crisp, lemons and coriander give a nice character that makes this beer awesome. Tremendous, would love to try on tap/cask version. Bought at Pricilla’s in MHC, NC.

Comes highly recommended by the mystical Drbayern. Pours a blonde somewhat hazy yellow. Head disipated to nice lacing on the top. Good carbonation. Nose was malt and clove, with banana. Mouthfeel was very nice, coated my tongue and mouth. Cloves and bananas prevailed. Not sure what some of you were drinking!
