Tripel Karmeliet is a classic golden Belgian Tripel with a distinct character from the use of three grains.
Appearance: Rich and refined deep Golden colour with a creamy white foam
Aroma: Very refined & complex; with hints of vanilla mixed with herbs and citrus
Flavour: A medium-bodied beer that is delicately warming. There is a freshness from the wheat and a creamy mouthfeel from the oats. Rich notes and soft sweetness of lemon cake join with hints of coriander seed and hay and a quinine-like dryness on the finish.

Pours cloudy with medium dark-beige head.
One of the best beers I ever had. You can't even feel the ABV, it has fantastic aroma and flavor.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a thick white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of banana, cereal, coriander and salted bread. Flavour of doughy bread, lemon cake and a light acidic tang on the finish. Medium to full body with a frothy mouthfeel. Very fizzy. A tasty beer, and very good value at £6 for a 750ml bottle in Morrisons.

Fles 75cl thuis. EEn geweldig goed bier. Oranjegeel bier met stevige schuimkraag die lang blijft staan. Smaak is kruidig zoet en licht bitter hoppig met iets van steranijs, wat nootmuskaat en abrikoos.

Bottled. Pours a nice little golden color with a medium head. Nice foam and some long lasting bubbles inside. Aroma is sweet citrusish. Taste is carbonated with nice little hops bite, easy drinking for a Trip.
