#2 on ratebeer - the Karmeliet. Let's get down to it.
Pours mostly transparent with a huge, white head. It had substantial carbonation and a nice golden hue - like ginger ale. It smelled like a mix between the #3/4 tripels with fruit and evergreen notes and a dash of light hops. The taste didn't present itself at the beginning but kicks in at the middle with a slight IPA vibe along with the bitterness that normally goes along with IPAs - very good though. The texture had an interesting flow that was, admittedly, boring at the beginning but flows through to a great finish and an alcoholic kick to top it off.
Overall, not a bad beer at all. Out of the 4, this had some of the best identity to call its own. It was a unique beer and I like that in a beer that is a top in its category.
Appearance - 4.1
Smell - 3.8
Taste - 4.1
Texture - 3.9
Overall - 3.98/5
