World Beer Awards 2008

Awarded best Ale of 2008: http://www.beers-of-the-world.com/wba08/index.php
Tripel Karmeliet, made by the small brewery Bosteels, the makers of Kwak, this is a new beer made unusually using three types of grain. It’s wonderfully smooth and aromatic. The Carmelites apparently made a three grain beer in the 1600’s and the recipe was stumbled on by accident. He three grains are barley, wheat and oats in both raw and malted forms. Styrian hops, a generous spicing and the fruity character of the house yeast make a complex beer with a light crisp and lemon dryness.
