Tempête

Tap to rate

Powerful malt aromas carry acacia honey and banana through this golden, deep-yellow blonde Tripel, ample and long on the palate. At 8% ABV, the brewery calls its strength dangerously drinkable and says it can make you lose your bearings. The name 'triple' marks it as a strong, round blonde: one for the bold, with malt at the helm.

◌ Aroma

Powerful Malz-forward nose leads with toasted grain depth, quickly followed by bright acacia honey and ripe banana esters from the Belgian yeast. Subtle warm alcohol notes emerge beneath, adding complexity without overshadowing the fruit and floral character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens full and rounded, with grainy Malz sweetness and honeyed richness balanced against restrained noble-hop bitterness (32 IBU). Mid-palate carries generous fruit-forward character—banana and subtle spice—with a smooth-drinking quality despite the elevated ABV, which remains well-concealed beneath the malty foundation.

◑ Finish

Long and warm, with lingering honey and grain sweetness fading gradually into a faint peppery spice. The alcohol strength reveals itself gently on the aftertaste, justifying the brewery's characterization of dangerously drinkable appeal.

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 Belgian Tripel?

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