Bosteels Tripel Karmeliet
Brouwerij Bosteels
Belgium

A watery tomato-soupish gold (I'm told, but being red-green colorblind it appears to be pink to me.) pour that offers up a heavy dose of malty caramel. A little like the Hellekapelle I had a month or so ago but this one has a sweetness of apples, melons and wine-ish grape. It's so murky that you might need a foghorn and floodlight so you don't ground on the malty reef. But maybe you want to sink your ship of swank and swim down there with the mermaids. But when the sirens of today sing they sing emo songs so you'll be covering your ears for a different reason Captain Poopdeck.
