🌍 Belgium · Belgian Tripel · One of 28 Belgian Tripels in hopIQ

The founding beer of Brewery Fort Lapin and the beer that started it all. A classic Belgian tripel — pale golden, bottle-conditioned, with a rich spicy yeast character, fruity esters, and a warming dry finish. The beer that convinced Kristof Vandenbusse to turn his homebrewing hobby into a full brewery.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Fort Lapin Tripel

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.

Goblet
Recommended for this style

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.
