St. Idesbald Tripel
Golden blond under a firm white head. Malty and fruity aromas come with hints of honey and a little spice; the palate starts very round, with a touch of honey and pepper. The aftertaste is harmonious, balancing malty, fruity and a pleasant bitterness. A complex tripel with 9% ABV and 24 IBU, brewed by Huyghe in Melle.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for St. Idesbald Tripel
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.
