Tripel Karmeliet

Brewed by Brouwerij Bosteels
Style: Abbey Tripel
Buggenhout, Belgium

Hazy gold with a giant frothy head that left a solid film and very nice lacing. Fruit and honey aromas with an earthy yeastiness clearly evident. Complex flavor profile featured citrus fruits and a warmong alcohol feel. Some spice, pear and pepper are in the background, and all is gently offset by a hint of hops bitterness. Strong carbonation, medium mouthfeel, a very crisp and dry aftertaste. A wonderful beer, the epitome of the style.

Hazy blond coloured beer with medium white head and only few carbonation. Fresh granny and hoppy aroma. Full palate bit sparkling, little creamy. Finish is bitter and herby. Top beer.

white forming head, nicely carbonated, smells fruity with some spices with a hint of honey, taste is very honey like and smooth, goes down easy and has a great refreshing alcoholic finish to it, an all around great beer

Gold with a small white head. Soft, gentle nose of yeast, orange, pepper, real minor alcohol. Flavor is never aggressive like so many tripels, and instead is sweet and a little dusty with orange, pepper, and a nice, soft malt. A little sticky but quite refined, Karmeliet is a balanced, nuanced tripel.

750 mL. Pours a beautiful cloudy blonde with a two-finger white head that has great retention. Lasts and lasts. Aroma is at first citrus, flowers, floral hops, vanilla and maybe a hint of macro lager graininess. Taste is nicely carbonated and fizzy upfront with nicely balanced flavor of floral hops, coriander, whipped cream, white grapes, and Belgian yeast. Lots of candied fruits. Nice clean and crisp finish. Awesome. Best tripel I have had to date.

Straw to golden in body with a good sized cap that lasted a few minuites, lacing spoty at best. Creamy and smooth aromaostly yeast and wheat and a touch of alchol. smooth and tasty, yeast, banana, zero hops not to much in the rilm of spice. very good beer very tasty

Pours apple golden yellow with a foaming white head. Creamy texture. Complex nose with fruits like banana, apple and peach. Sweet palate, like caramel. An excellent beer. Visited Bosteels Browerij on ’07 summer and must say everyone should get there and enjoy a bottle of Tripel Karmeliet and a Deus as we did with the Bosteels family while having a great conversation about beer, wine and food. Fantastic time with great people; Belgian hospitality. Thank you

From Tap, Great beer with light orange color with smooth head, aroma of fruits and spices with high sweetness, stronge flavors of fruits with malts and complex pleasant aftertaste, really really nice.
