Heen & Weer

Tap to rate

An unusual Belgian-style tripel at 9.0%. A sweet, malty backbone meets a firm hop bitterness, and the result is well balanced rather than predictable. Biscuit and fruit lead the flavour, with a fresh bitterness in the finish. A tripel that moves back and forth between malt and hops, as the name suggests.

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is visible and lively, with good head retention that leaves delicate lacing on the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with subtle biscuit and bread grain notes from the Malz, complemented by soft stone fruit and a light herbal character. A gentle spiciness from the yeast emerges as the beer warms, adding complexity without dominating the nose.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a clean, malty sweetness balanced immediately by a firm hop bitterness that sits neither forward nor recessed. Mid-palate reveals layered fruit and bread notes, while the spicy yeast character weaves through the finish with a dry, refreshing bite.

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.
