Brugge Tripel
Brugge Tripel is a golden-blond tripel of 8.7 % that tastes bitter, rich and creamy and runs dry. Its aroma pairs a fruity, lightly spicy note with a phenolic, smoky touch. The beer carries its own gruut herb mixture, the medieval blend that Bruges brewers once had to buy from the city's Gruuthuse, and it ferments again in the bottle. A firm head leaves a Bruges lace pattern on the glass.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Brugge 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.
