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.

madsberg (8790) - Søborg, DENMARK - OCT 23, 2003
Bottled: Golden orange coloured. Lasting white head. Very spicy and fruity aroma. Light alcahol notes. Fruity, malty and sweet flavour. When the beer warms up, you can feel the alcahol on the lips. Has a pleasant fruity aftertaste with a little alcahol bite. Great beer.

Drew (2413) - Kent, Ohio, USA - OCT 21, 2003
Really nice triple. Spicey, fruity - peachy, very light sourness, sweet and dry at the same time. not too thick - just right. Glowing yellow, good head and lacing.

Kinz (2968) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - OCT 19, 2003
Looks orange with a big fluffy head, hazy. Smells like an orange, with just a hint of mustiness. There is a definite bite on the palate. Flavor is fairly complex, oranges, grape must, barnyard, and a pinch of salt, with a hoppy, bone dry finish. Interesting, but not totally my thing in the end.

jeffin7 (610) - Silver Spring, Maryland, USA - OCT 13, 2003
Aroma of sweet malt and a mild cinnamon. Standard ever present creamy belgian head. Flavor of malt, dark fruit, and mild cinnamon. No alcohol flavor detectable. Not the best tripel but a decent representation of what I expect the style to be.

IPFreely (1471) - Sanborn, New York, USA - OCT 13, 2003
Hazy gold color with a white head. Fruity aroma, citrusy. Spicy citrus flavor with a sweet finish. Some, but not much, lingering alcohol warmth. Enjoyed it.

fly (1369) - austin, Tejas, Alabama, USA - OCT 13, 2003
Delicious stuff. Full of flavor and a terrific finish that ends in a wonderful, malty, brown sugar that goes on and on - much like I would enjoy drinking this - on and on. Quite good. Many thanks to the incredible Dougster.

Hazy golden coloured, big head. Fruity, spicy and a bit sweet, fairly complex. Good tripel.

DougShoemaker (3148) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 7, 2003
On Tap in Paris. Citrus and fine bread aroma. Hazy golden appearance, white head, lace and more lace. Flavours of orange, pomegranate, grapefruit and pears. Very light bodied, good tongue tingle. Wonderful, and in a 1 Litre Glass!

Dalle (1145) - Skørping, DENMARK - OCT 5, 2003
Small white head leaving nice lace. Dark golden colour. Sweet, citrus, grass and alcohol. Doesn't live up to it's darker brother.

raymow (763) - Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 29, 2003
Cloudy golden in appearance with a sweet Belgiany aroma. Flavor is of spice and licorice. You can sense the alcohol, but you can't taste it or smell it as you'd expect at 9% ABV. I'm definitely a novice when it comes to Belgian beers but I do like this one - it's worth it's fairly high rating.
