Beers similar to Grimbergen Tripel

Tripel·Belgium·9% ABV·One of 95 Tripels in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Grimbergen Tripel's spicy and yeasty character. The Belgian-market tripel, bottle-conditioned and stronger than its French counterpart. It pours an intense yellow with ochre tints. The nose is bready and grainy, with hop and spice notes and a floral edge. A blend of mild and more bitter hops gives the palate a full, assertive taste, where peppery yeast spice meets a light sugar sweetness. The finish is warming and dry. Brewed with barley malt, glucose and invert sugar syrup, hops and yeast.
