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.

Bottle at Hops, Crewe. Pours golden yellow with a sizable frothy white head and good lacing. Belgian hops to the fore in the aroma plus oranges and hints of coriander and spice. In the mouth up front sweetness hides some underlying sharpness. Flavours are mainly Belgian hops and yeast plus cardamom, honey and banana. Later on there are traces of vanilla, oats, lemon and peaches leading to a dry and somewhat fruity finish. This is excellent – a top quality tripel.

Golden, slightly hazy, with a strong, long-lasting head. A distinctly Belgian flavour with cardamom, white pepper, cloves, banana, fruit, honey, vanilla, and yeast. Full-bodied yet crisp. Dry, herbal finish. A wonderfully good beer.

33 cl, bottle.
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.
