Tripel Karmeliet

Great beer. Had some from the tap at Rattle n Hum. A nice, sweet malt aroma with notes of fruit. Flavor is also sweet, and powerful, an admirable blend of spice and alcohol. Finish is smooth and pleasant, with a warming mouthfeel.

My new favorite Belgian beer - taste is somewhere between Leffe blonde and Hoegarden. Too bad it’s quite expensive - 2,60 € for a 0,3L bottle here in Slovakia is a bit too much.

bottle from midway in denton tx. poured gold with a white head. aroma was banana, spices, lemon, and maybe some juicy fruit bubble gum. flavor was very spicey and dry with a strong alcohol presence. body was light-medium with high carbonation.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle into a chalice. The back label has a best before date of 03JJ and it was sampled on 6-23-09. Appearance: The body has a golden color with a cloudy haze. Inside there are little bits of tasty yeast floaters. The head on top is tall, long lasting and bright whit in color. As I drink it leaves some spotty lacing on the glass. Smell: Right from the pop of the cap the aroma creeps out of the bottle. It has a bright nose with hints of lemon zest, fruity and funky Belgian yeast. Taste/Mouth: The flavor has sweetness up front with complex grainy malt flavor and a hint of clover honey. The middle sees fruity and funky yeast and mellow warming alcohol taking over and drying out the overall character. It then finishes bone dry with only a hint of herbal hops. The palate is medium bodied with good carbonation. Notes: This is an outstanding example of the style and a very satisfying beer.

I have a cold and it even smells good! Malt and yeast combine to create a plesant aroma that tells you this is going to be good. It’s clear, quite clear for a tripel. Great lacing and head, the bubbls contine to rise from the glass throughout the beer. The malt and yeast flavours are so well balanced that you can’t tell the alcohol is there in such a high percentage. Very nice, I should like it even more with a proper functioning nose.

On tapp at Tre små rum Göteborg, 20091014 Lovely amber colour and aroma, fruit, syrup, yeast and a bit alcoholy

330mL bottle - pours a hazy golden colour. Flavour is sort of sweet, with fruit, yeast and strong hops. A classic Belgian strong.

Bottled: Huge foamy head, hazy dark golden color. Aroma is fruity, yeasty with intensive notes of apricot, citrus and honey. Flavor is medium sweet with grainy and intensive fruity notes. Notes of apricot, almonds, some alcohol and apricot pancakes. Finish with herbal hops and hints of vermouth and a very dry finish.
