Het Anker Gouden Carolus Tripel
In spite of modern brewing technology, this beer is brewed according to ancient traditions. It unites, now as in the past, the best products of our soil: rich barley and fine hops..
It’s refined character, with a pure and rich taste, will captivate you. It is matured at length in cellar and bottle, and is guaranteed to be brewed only from pale malts. It is traditionally top-fermented and is 100% pure. The Gouden Carolus Triple has a unique colour and a full flavour due to its well-balanced hopping.
To properly savour the Golden Carolus “Triple”, pour slowly in one movement leaving the yeast deposit in the bottle. This beer may be served cool but not chilled: 7-8°C is recommended.
In 2002 this beer won the Gold Award in the World Beer Cup, San Diego, USA in the “Triple” category.

Cerveja sensacional
Hoppig maar zacht
330ml bottle from We Brought Beer, Tooting. Clear mid golden. Aroma of toffee, candied peal and sweet candied fruit. Sweetish, very well balanced flavour.
Fruitig op de neus. Mild bittere smaak. Bittere afdronk
Złote, klarowne, piana taka, że ciężko nalać, opada bardzo powoli.
W aromacie wszystko jak trzeba, a nawet więcej - jest brzoskwinia, fenole, słód, kwiaty, siano, do tego dziwna, świeża nuta, jakby ziół, może kolendry, bo kojarzy mi się się z Witbierem.
W smaku owoce sadu, słód, zboże, brzoskwinia, morela, przyprawy, biszkopt, bakalie.
Wytrawne, nieco kwaskowe, ciało średnie, alkohol ładnie ukryty, tylko po przełknięciu trochę grzeje, wysycenie średnie plus.
Bardzo dobry Tripel.
Orange hazy pour, lasting white head, tastes of hops, citrus, some faint spices - decent citrus/grapefruit aftertaste; very nice
Bottle @home. Dorata carica, intensa, schiuma bianca media, molto persistente. Al naso note di malto, scorza d'arancia, luppolo, leggero floreale, spezie. In bocca ha un attacco maltato deciso con chiusura amara, manca però un po' di secchezza. Corpo medio-pieno, carbonazione media. Classica.
Pale yellow, slightly murky appearance, brighter than most tripels. None of the artificial sweetness and herbs with which some of the competition goes over the top. Good level of hops, providing good balance.
De color ámbar o como oro viejo, da una espuma de color marfil, de baja retención y poca persistencia. Es turbia pero permite ver la actividad de carbonatacion que es muy activa.
En nariz inmediatamente destaca el lado herbal derivado del lupulo, en particular cilantro luego, cáscara de naranja, algo a vainilla.
En boca es seca, algo amarga pero sin ser molesto. Se percibe la carbonatacion que deja paso a una nota herbal de cilantro, al mismo tiempo en la parte posterior de la lengua se aprecia una nota dulce posiblemente de la malta, que es opacada en segundos por el amargor del lupulo en los laterales posteriores de la lengua. Ligeramente picante.
Light and hazy with huge frothy head. Fresh fruity citric aroma. Taste is fresh, little dry and plum sweet and sourness in the taste.
Impressive sugar taste, sweet smell and finish. Classic tripel style with balanced body and finish.

Bottle from Liquor Mountain. Dusty aroma of ripe apples and peaches, Sweet and lightly floral. Hazy dark blonde color, one finger of fluffy white foam, and lace that grabs the glass. Sweet bready malt, cake-like, with a decided witbier-like character (it contains coriander and orange peel). Great flavor changes through the palate stages. Medium heavy body. Very inviting aromas. Up there with Westmalle.

Color naranja con ligera neblina, translúcida. Espuma blanca de más de dos dedos de espesor y excelente retención. Aroma medio, cereal, plátano maduro, heno, cilantro y notas especiadas. Sabor medio intenso, plátano maduro, tonos especiados, heno, pan, notas florales y de caramelo, final medio de amargor belga alto y dulzor maltoso medio bajo, posgusto ligeramente especiado, alcohol bien integrado. Textura casi sedosa. Carbonatación media baja.
Un tanto más especiada de lo que disfruto. Aún así, evidentemente, la debo recomendar.
Woaw, elle est vraiment bonne cette bière! 👌🏼
Light sweet aroma with notes of hay, corn, flowers & white pepper. Clear golden with a heavy white very long lasting head. Light sweet taste. Heavy body, creamy texture & soft carbonation.
0,33l bottle. A hazy deep golden/orange beer with a rich creamy white head and high carbonation. Strong spicy aroma with notes of coriander, citrus, banana and some orange. Slightly sweet fruity flavour with notes of orange, coriander, spices and hops. Spicy aftertaste.
750ml bottle (thanks suurjuust). BB 2020. Clear golden color. Oranges, malty, spicy, floral, flowers, complex, daffodils, dry in aroma/taste.
Niet zo denderend
0,75 litter bottle. Nice beer, full of flavour like most of the Gouden Carolus beers.
Blonde - tres agréable avec un goût un peu atypique et fruité
Bottle from Casa de la Cerveza, served at home in a goblet. Pours a thick white head that resembles a floating pineapple icecream. Starts dirty yellowish and see-through. When it settles it turns opaque and gold. Aromas of banana, chewing gum and herb-spiced, very belgian. Mouthfeel: thin to medium body, coriander, orange peel and almost non-existent bitterness. Delicious, will definitely repeat.
Old rating - 330ml bottle, pours amber with a white head. Aromas & tastes of fruits, citrus, bread, coriander, nuts, spice & hops. Medium body. Tart finish
Smell of coriander, some hoppy notes. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of coriander, soap, grass, herbs, hops. Sweet, medium sour. Wild carbon.
Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. It pours clear blonde with a thick, dense white head. The aroma is cereal, hay, doughy farmhouse bread, nutty, spice, tart fruits, lemon peel, pear, sour apple, touch of sherbet and earth. The taste is firmly dry, tart almost, light pucker which dissipates, candy, pear drops, apple, melon, lemon sherbets, white grape, cereal, nutty, hay, grass, spice, kick of alcohol boost, vinous, sherbet, refreshers and some floral accents with a spicy, estery finish. Medium body and moderate to high, fluffy carbonation. Not one of those run of the mill, super sweet tripels of which there are many... Quite a unique offering.
bottiglia 33 cl, bel cappello di schiuma bianca fine persistente, color giallo/oro velato, al naso è fruttata speziata lieviti belgi succo di pesca coriandolo zucchero filato lieve banana, in bocca pesche sciroppate succo di pera frutta candita, carbonazione forte, corpo rotondo, alcool ben bilanciato, dolce con amaro moderato, secca nel finale. Un piacere berla fino all'ultimo sorso. Una Tripel con la T maiuscola. Ottima. c. Cantina della birra 08.05.21
Murky, dirty orange with a foamy head. Aroma full of coriander with caramel, lemons and bananas underneath. Pleasant. Taste is moderate sweet with a bit of candy. Some mild, mineral bitterness. Finishes full of banana and candy with light citric twist. Medium to full bodied, aggressive carbonation, perhaps too much. Nothing a little sitting in the glass won’t handle. Good stuff.
Ampolla Hopt. Fantàstica triple. Dos dits d espuma persistent. Especiat característic belga, sense amagar maltositat, caramel, punt cítric, plàtan... 9 graus imperceptibles. Bon cos, amargor suau. Ben equilibrada.
Masser af banan i næsen, meget klassisk tripple - lidt overraskende at den er på 9%. Frugtig og lækker
Zacht, geen uitgesproken smaak
