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 a very hazy dark golden with a not too big (especially per style), compact white head, which doesn't show much retention and most of all no lacing. Smell is mostly a mix of sirupy/sugary sweetness and yeasty notes (dough), with a background of fruitiness (peach most prominent, lighter pear) and slight hints of spiciness. Quite vivid, but not very refined. Taste is worst. Very strong sugary/sirupy sweetness upfront, a background of fruitiness (banana, peach, pear) and nothing else. Very sweet in both taste and aftertaste, barely saved from cloyingness by alcohol attenuation. Medium to dense body, medium or slightly above medium carbonation, possibly a bit lower than style average. Aims for a softer mouthfeel than most tripels, feels ok at that but gets maybe a bit too sticky. Overall still drinkable, but far from quality stuff.

Golden pour with a hint of haze - big white head. Aromas of grain/oats, some caramel and spices - similar for the tase. Quite nice, but could have stronger flavours for a tripel.
