Next up is the Tripel Karmeliet brewed by a very small place in Belgium known as Bosteels. This brew pours a light brown to golden yellow in color with extremely heavy carbonation. A large white head forms quickly (although not as large as the one from Chouffe) and then fades into a small one finger wide ring. The aroma is of heavy pine, light fruits (grapes, orange, bananas), and hops. The initial taste is found to be a bit weak and includes notes of lighter hops, earth, and sweet fruits. Hides the alcohol very well, but besides that not much else is going on. Taste is lacking a little, but the texture and complexity is right there.
Smell - 3.9
Taste - 3.9
Texture - 4.2
Overall - 3.95/5
