Honey Orange Tripel
Big, sweet and citrusy, this Belgian-style Tripel reaches 10% ABV and is brewed with Trappist ale yeast. The honey is wild, sourced from a certified B Corp honey company, and a Fort Collins spice shop grinds fresh Seville orange peels the day before each brew day. Nugget and Styrian Savinjski Goldings hops sit alongside pale, Munich and Pilsner malts.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Honey Orange 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.
