Karmeliet je jako, zlatno pivo, visoko fermentirano s refermentacijom u boci. Proizvodi ga pivovara Boste els iz gradića Buggenhout. Ovo pivo se još uvijek proizvodi prema izvornom receptu iz 1679. godine, koji potječe iz nekadašnjeg samostana Carmeliet, a opisuje upotrebu 3 žitarice pri proizvodnji piva: pšenicu, zob i ječam. Ovo je vrlo rafinirano i složeno pivo s finom i kremastom pjenom.

NAGRADE

World's Best Ale 2008

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned.
First brewed 1996; claimed to be based on a recipe from 1679 which used wheat, oat and barley.
Tripel Karmeliet is a very refined and complex golden-to-bronze brew with a fantastic creamy head. These characteristics derive not only from the grains used but also from restrained hopping with Styrians and the fruity nature (banana and vanilla) of the house yeast. Aroma has hints of vanilla mixed with citrus aromas. Tripel Karmeliet has not only the lightness and freshness of wheat, but also the creaminess of oats together with a spicy lemony almost quinine dryness.
