Quite heady

This is another purchase from Sainsburys. I first tried it in Antwerp and must confess to drinking quite a lot of it during the short holiday. Made from wheat, oats and barley.

Tripel Karmeliet, 8%

A bright, golden colour. It smells of honey and lemon. And alcohol too. The palate is very rich and heady, almost sweet from the alcohol. There is a fruitiness to it, though. Not bad, but somehow not as charming as I remembered.
