Feb 6, 2010 A tad sweet, but overall pretty solid offering. Clear golden pour with minimal pure whitebhead(the heads got bigger after my initial pour). Aroma of sweet maybe barley, a little corn. Flavor is heavy on sweety malt, big notes of alcohol. Nice, but not top 99 percentile.

Feb 2, 2010 Bottle. Pours a very light golden. SLightly hazy with a very rocky white head. Disappaears very quickly leaving minimal lacing. Aromas are amzing. Initially aromas a quite citrusy with plenty of grapefruit and lemon. As the beer warms slightly vanilla and wheat start to come through. Some spice, hops and perhaps a slight acidity. Very subtle but at the smae time very complex. The wheat start to show through more in the taste with some spice. A little alcohol on the finish. Not quite as complex as the nose. Mouthfeel is quite thin though it definately suits this beer. Great beer

Jan 31, 2010 On draft. Very smooth. Medium bodied. Lots of yeast, with very light earthy malt flavors. Some floral hops, but not much. Mild spiciness. Good, but not the best tripel out there.

Jan 29, 2010 Pours a mostly clear, golden orange colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is of various fruits, spice and some citrus hops. The taste is sweet and spicy with a little alcohol and a nice bitter finish. It is quite smooth on the palate. Overall a very nice brew.

Jan 29, 2010 330ml Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a yeasty malt aroma. The taste was light, with very mild bitterness. It had a lively carbonation, which produced a large white head that kept the bubbles flowing. The finish was long and tasty. Over all this was an nice Tripel. I’ve got to try more of these.

Jan 28, 2010 Tripel Karmeliet is a slightly hazy and very sparkling pale yellow ale with a thick, fluffy head that has great retention and lacing. It has a doughy and fruity aroma with notes of banana, pear, apple, peach, cherry, nutmeg and clove. It’s light bodied and very lively. It foams on the tongue. The finish is crisp and clean. It’s perhaps a touch sweet with a barely detectable bitterness. It tastes very fruity-- almost cider-like. All of the fruit present in the aroma is in the flavor. There is perhaps some bret at the finish. This comes off as pretty light fare, but it’s pretty complex. It’s very refreshing. (I was shocked when I read the ABV later!)

Jan 26, 2010 330 ml bottle. Poured a clear gold with a big rocky head that stays some time. Aroma was fruits (grapefruit) and hops. The taste was a bright mix of hops, fresh fruits and spices with a nice bitterness at the finish. Overall I thought this was a great Tripel: very bright flavors with lively carbonation.
