Very crisp and substantial.

A heavy frame with a sharp finish — a rare combination that stays pointed on the tongue.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced banana and pear esters characteristic of Trappist yeast fermentation, complemented by subtle clove spice and herbal notes.

Taste

The palate opens with pleasant sweetness balanced by the crisp, drying character of noble hops. Banana and yeast-derived fruit continue through the mid-palate, with clove spice providing structure and complexity. The 30 IBU bitterness remains restrained, allowing the fruity and sweet notes to dominate without creating harshness or excessive dryness.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Marvella Belgian Triple

Serve at 9–12°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.
