Beers similar to Donderstraal

Tripel·Netherlands·8% ABV·One of 57 Tripels in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Donderstraal's fruity and spicy character. A classic, powerful tripel, golden blond and top-fermented with traditional Belgian yeast for the full, typical tripel taste: lightly malty and fruity, with the flavour of candi sugar and a spicy finish. Donderstraal is brewed at 8% ABV and goes down far more easily than that strength suggests.
