Gouverneur Tripel
A tripel with a face of its own: cinnamon and allspice are in the ingredient list, alongside spelt malt and oat flakes next to the barley. The result is a spiced character rarely found in the style, carried by clear fruitiness, closing bitter and dry. At 8.2 percent and 26 IBU, surprisingly approachable. Serve at six to eight degrees.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gouverneur 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.
