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 orange colour with huge white head. Clove and spicey mouthfeel which hides the alcohol. Very pleasant.

Pours a golden yellow color with big off white head. Aromas of bananas, yeast, malt. Flavor is fruity with hints of yeast and spice. Medium body with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. This is one of my favorite tripels. Excellent!

Big bottle pours hazed pale oak veneer color with a proud head that takes time to die off leaving very little lace. The aroma has strong malts, yeast, citrus/banana fruits, and floral. The flavor is fruity, yeasty, spicy, malty, kind of dry, and some faint bitterness. The palate consists of refreshing and cleansing carbonation infused in a medium bodied feel. The finish is rather quick and dry. This is one of the better Triples I’ve had in some time. Post script - as usual with my ratings of Belgians, the yeast pour and temperature make things much more interesting! Oh, and I broke out some Tillamook cheddar to accompany and it works well!

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.

Wow, crisp abbey tripel! Pours hazy yeloow color with barley any head. Smells of fruits and tastes of fruit, malts, and alcohol. Funky good beer!

Sampled in Nancy, France: Came from the tap golden and with a very slight haze, and a white head, that laced nicely on the glass. Aroma was of spice, some banana esters, and alcohol. Flavor was the same, estery, with some spice and a hint of alcohol. medium and bubbley on the mouth feel. Excellent triple.
