Hertog Jan Tripel
A clear, blond tripel at 8.5%: malty to sweet, with a soft bitterness and a palette of fruity flavours, strong yet smooth. Brewed from a single malt and refermented in the bottle for a fresher, richer taste, it is one of the first specialty beers brewed in Arcen. A beer to drink for flavour rather than thirst.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hertog Jan 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.
