The Karmeliet Tripel from the Belgian brewery Bosteels was brewed for the first time in 1996. However, according to legend, this wasn't the very first time. According to the brewery, the Karmeliet Tripel '96 was brewed according to an old recipe that has been around for more than 300 years. We don't know if this is true, but we can say with certainty that the tripel tastes exceptionally good. And that's what ultimately matters.
A particular specialty of Belgian breweries are the yeast strains that are used for the beer. There are countless unusual yeasts that have been passed down from brewer to brewer for generations and give the beers their very own character. Bosteels also has a range of the brewery's own house yeasts, which were also used for this beer.
The Karmeliet Tripel flows into the glass in an almost clear, golden bronze tone and forms a massive head of foam. When exposed to light, the beer shows wonderful light reflections in yellow and gold. An initially very fruity aroma rises from the dense, white foam. Ripe banana meets a spicy hint of vanilla in the nose, and a strong aroma of roasted nuts complements the exquisite mixture. The initial taste presents a wonderfully soft, round beer that impresses with great creaminess and complex aromas. Vanilla meets tangy citrus fruits on the palate, the banana forms a soft, sweet base and a little nut completes the aromatics.
Special and very tasty!
