The pale characteristics are reminiscent in the smell, the color and body of the beer while the aged portion provides the sour qualities and complexity of flavors. This beer is quite the opposite and named appropriately. In his book, he states that the brewers we concerned that “pale” meant weak and “aged” meant stale. Michael Jackson named this beer “aged pale” back in 2001 when the beer was first released. This beer is sour, sweet and does actually have some hop presence, although barely detectable. However, kudos to the history of the Tripel Karmeliet as it is brewed from the same original 1679 recipe. All in all, this beer is not very complex and lacks character. For your viewing pleasure, I bring you:īrouwerij Bosteels, Tripel Karmeliet:This beer smells like a Pilsner, is light in color, tastes grainy at first (it is brewed with three different grains after all) and finishes with a sweet, berry flavor. Last night, we embarked on a journey of four Belgium beers, one Tripel, two Trappist and a sour pale.

Last night, the creators of Beer Blotter joined forces to learn about Belgium culture, learn the Dutch language and most importantly learn about Belgium beers (with the help of Michael Jackson’s Great Beers of Belgium).īasically each week until our trip, we plan on getting together and sampling Belgium beers, eating Belgium foods and becoming more familiar with the arts, cultures and languages that we will encounter.
