Kaintz Modern Tripel
A modern twist on the tripel: English ale yeast pumps up the fruitiness, and Sorachi Ace hops add a touch of lemon. At 8.0% ABV and 21 IBU it is billed as easy drinking and extra dangerous. The name honors Sebastiaan Kaintz, the brewmaster behind the iconic beers of the old Van Vollenhoven brewery.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Kaintz Modern Tripel

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.
