Ename Tripel
Ename Tripel is the strong blonde of the Ename abbey range, brewed since 1990 and refermented in the bottle. It balances malt and hops rather than leaning on sweetness alone. Peach, pomelo and honey fill the nose, backed by yeasty spice and a hint of banana. The first sip is slightly sweet and creamy, the middle turns fruity and lightly spicy, and a long, powerful finish brings noticeable warmth from the alcohol.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ename 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.
