◌ Aroma

The nose is complex and inviting, leading with fruity esters of ripe banana and subtle citrus zest. White pepper and clove spice notes emerge alongside a honey-like sweetness, with the Belgian yeast character providing a sophisticated, slightly herbal backdrop.

banana esterswhite pepperclovehoney-citrus

◐ Taste

The palate enters sweet and malty with a full body and creamy mouthfeel, followed by developing yeast-driven complexity and warming spice notes. The mid-palate reveals additional fruit character and a subtle dry element, while the low 18 IBU bitterness remains restrained, allowing the malt and yeast complexity to dominate.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming with a pleasant dry quality that prevents cloying sweetness. A subtle alcohol warmth lingers gently, leaving residual notes of clove and citrus that encourage another sip.

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.

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.
