Triple Karmeliet Belgian Abbey Beer (6-pack)

Triple Karmeliet : Harmonious Blend of Fruit, Spice & Grain

Tripel Karmeliet, revered for its exquisite taste and historical roots, is a Belgian Abbey Tripel that utilizes a time-honored recipe from the 17th century, created by Carmelite monks. This beer is distinguished by its use of three grains: wheat, oats, and barley, contributing to its unique and complex flavor profile. It boasts a golden strong ale character with an ABV of 8.4%, characterized by a medium gold color, creamy head, and a blend of dry, crisp, and refreshing flavors accentuated by citrus and spice​.

It marries the flavors, colors, and body of barley, the lightness of wheat, and the creamy mouthfeel of oats, achieving a harmonious balance that has been perfected over time. This beer is also noted for its refined and complex golden-to-bronze brew, with a fantastic creamy head deriving from the grains used as well as from restrained hopping with Styrians and the fruity nature of the house yeast​.

Brouwerij Bosteels, the creator of Tripel Karmeliet, has been operational for over seven generations. Despite the sale of the brewery in 2016, it continues to produce three main beers: Tripel Karmeliet, DeuS, and Pauwel Kwak, maintaining a legacy of brewing excellence that dates back to 1791.

Tripel Karmeliet enjoys a stellar reputation among beer enthusiasts, backed by numerous awards, including Gold at the World Beer Cup USA in 1998, the World Beer Championships in 1998 and 2000, Silver at the World Beer Cup USA in 2002, Bronze at the Brewing Industry International Awards in 2004, Gold at the European Beer Star in Germany in 2005, and the title of World’s Best Ale at the World Beer Awards in 2008.​
