Beers similar to Merakels

Brouwerij Dampegheest

Tripel·Netherlands·8% ABV·One of 94 Tripels in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Merakels's fruity and spicy character. Yellow fruit and pear from Belgian yeast, a light fresh spiciness from coriander and a soft bitterness in the finish: this tripel stays fairly dry and supple despite 8% ABV. Fresh whey from cheese-making goes into the brewing water for a full, soft mouthfeel, a fitting nod to the former Limmen cheese warehouse that houses the brewery. Merakels is West Frisian for extraordinary or great. Brewed since 2012, available year-round.
