Gerardus Tripel
A full, multigrain tripel brewed from barley, wheat, oats, rye and spelt with a closely guarded spice blend. Orange stands out, with cinnamon and star anise behind it. Orange peel, cardamom and coriander are in the recipe too, and the brewery warns that its carbonation makes it easy to drink fast. 8.5% ABV.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gerardus 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.
