Kadodo

Tap to rate

A blond tripel (8.0%, 32 IBU, 17 EBC) with a smooth spiciness, a fruity side and a good body. A gift beer named for the dodo, a pigeon relative that could not fly and lived only on Mauritius, 830 km east of Madagascar; the last one was seen in 1681. On offer all year for any day worth celebrating, to give as well as to receive.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent fruity esters—ripe stone fruit and subtle citrus notes—layered beneath a gentle spiciness characteristic of noble hops. Beneath these top notes, a soft malty foundation and quiet yeast-derived complexity complete the aromatic profile, offering warmth without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and smooth, with fruity flavors dominating the entry and mid-palate—mirroring the aromatic promise. A restrained spiciness weaves through the center, balanced by bready, slightly yeasty undertones that ground the beer's inherent sweetness. The 32 IBU bitterness arrives late and measured, creating a dry finish without aggressive drying.

Serve at 9–12°C

Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.

Goblet

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.

Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.

What is a Tripel?

Tripels are strong Belgian ales with 8–10% ABV. Deceptively pale, they offer fruit esters, spicy yeast, sweet malt and a warming finish.

Finding a similar Tripel

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same fruity, smooth, spicy character as Kadodo will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
