Tripel Karmeliet

0.33l bottle. Pours clear amber colour, with a good thick off white head which dissapears very quickly to leave it looking like cider! Very drinkable fruity pale ale, spicy taste and a pleasant sour aftertaste with a mild hint of alcohol. Very good beer.

33cl Bottle. Really spicey aroma . Flavor is really fruity and spicey with notes of apples and peach. Really good Tripel!

750 ml corked bottle. into chalice. Nice looking hazy wheat golden ale, with a lovelly large thick and bubbly white head. Fantastic nose on this beer. all the usual Belgian style yeast, malts and spices but ampliphied. Very fruity, pink apples, red plums come to mind. All the flavours mentioned in the nose are present a little banana and a tinge of alcohol added in the end. Fantastic palate, great mouthfeel, smooth silky yet carbonated very well. Very good beer. Will have again.

Apple juice colored. 1/2 inch white head only lasts a few minutes. Light sweet and sour flavor. Light fizzy texture. Body is medium heavy though. Flavor is overall a little malty, sour and fizzy. Finish remains spritzy for a while. It comes across as somewhere between a champaigne an a beer and hides its alcohol well.

Bottle: light copper color with a small head that dissipates quickly. A smooth softly sweet Belgian that is not over the top with any flavor, but is quality and nicely representative. Alcohol taste was not noticeable.
