Bersalis Tripel
A blond tripel with firm character: the full body of wheat malt moves from a round sweetness to a fruity, bitter taste, with spices lingering, and the nose pairs malt, spiciness and a bitter touch. It was the first beer of the reopened brewery in November 2005, named after the medieval name of Beersel, and its sales paid for the lambic investments that followed. 9.5 % ABV, in 33 cl bottles and 20 L kegs.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bersalis 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.
