Helse Engel
A sturdy tripel with malt and hop aromas: plenty of hops on a base of light malt, plus the rich aroma of calmly fermented beer. At 8% it drinks far too easily, and the name nods to the angel-like taste and the hellish consequences of a second glass. One of the best-known and best-selling beers from De Hemel.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Helse Engel
Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.
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.
