BELGIAN'S BOSTEELS Brewery - Tripel Karmeliet Review





Type: 3 Grain "Tripel"

ABV: 8.4%

Color: Cloudy but gorgeous golden-yellow body with a nice thick "rocks and cliffs" white head.

Aroma: Sweet maltiness with intriguing fruit and floral notes. Small spicy touches and a dab of vanilla.

Taste: Orange and some lemon pop right from the onset. Spice hits the back of the tongue and doesn't let go. Strong grain presence more-so than any hop bitterness. It finishes off mellow and clean.

Overall: Full bodied and slightly weighty. Some might not enjoy the boldness of the spice, but i do. The citrus tones are full and abundant. This is how a Belgian Beer is supposed to be...clean and strong but still chilled out enough to go down easy.

Score: 8/10
