Beer of the Day: Tripel Karmeliet

I think you would be hard pressed to find a more interesting beer for the spring or summer than Tripel Karmeliet from the Bosteels Brewery. It's a three-grain (hence tripel) using wheat, oats and barley from a recipe from 1679. This is my first tripel, so I can't speak to the entire category yet, and I imagine some of you could suggest a few others to try? At any rate, I wish I had this sitting at an outdoor cafe' by a smoothly flowing river. I suppose now I will have to find the right location to go with this beer.

HINTS:

• I rate it a pleasant 4.5 of 5.0 "Pleasant Summer Beers."
• Pours a pleasant gold-orange color.
• The bouquet reminds me a bit of Chimay, though a bit milder.
• The flavor is a bit bready, but with a smooth finish, depite the excellent carbonation.
  
• Has a great label, depicting a medieval harvest scene - you just fall into it.
• A bit disappointed when I hit the bottom of this bottle.
