Beers similar to Brugge Tripel

Tripel·Belgium·8.7% ABV·One of 94 Tripels in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Brugge Tripel's fruity and dry character. Brugge Tripel is a golden-blond tripel of 8.7 % that tastes bitter, rich and creamy and runs dry. Its aroma pairs a fruity, lightly spicy note with a phenolic, smoky touch. The beer carries its own gruut herb mixture, the medieval blend that Bruges brewers once had to buy from the city's Gruuthuse, and it ferments again in the bottle. A firm head leaves a Bruges lace pattern on the glass.
