Platanazo

Tap to rate

Blond and charming, with banana up front and the esters of the yeasts weaving around it. It is a stronger tripel, tuned up with bananas from the Canary Islands and released as a limited edition. The brewery sees a lovely meeting of seductive flavours in the encounter of the fruit and the esters the yeasts bring themselves.

◌ Aroma

Banana dominates the nose with immediate presence, backed by the distinctive fruity-spicy esters characteristic of Belgian yeast activity. Subtle honey notes emerge beneath, creating a layered aromatic profile that balances the elevated alcohol content with a welcoming, fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with prominent banana flavour that continues the aromatic theme, supported by a smooth, sweet foundation with gentle honey characteristics. The 30 IBU bitterness remains restrained, allowing the yeast-derived fruit and subtle spice to define the mid-palate, while the 10% ABV becomes noticeable without dominating the overall drinking experience.

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.

About Belgian Tripel

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Belgian Tripel?

Tripels are strong Belgian ales with 8–10% ABV. Deceptively pale, they offer fruit esters, spicy yeast, sweet malt and a warming finish.

Finding a similar Belgian Tripel

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same banana, yeasty, fruity character as Platanazo will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
