Sloppy Joe
A tripel whose classic yeast brings spicy notes along with dates, figs and raisins; the body is full and the finish warm at 8%, with the classic tripel hops held back. The beer began at a kitchen table among three friends and was later renamed for the Sloppy Joes of a mother who grew up in America and fell in love with an Amersfoorter.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sloppy Joe
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.
