Affligem Tripel if you want the classic Belgian tripel experience with real grip,
Ch'Ti Grand Cru if you want something smoother and more approachable.
Both are golden and strong, but Affligem's got that distinctive yeast character and slightly higher ABV that makes it feel more substantial. Ch'Ti plays it a bit safer—cleaner, less funky, more refined in a way that won't throw you off if you're expecting straightforward elegance.

Tasting notes
Affligem Tripel
Affligem hits you with that authentic Belgian tripel personality—spicy, peppery yeast notes that sit right up front, followed by a honeyed sweetness that doesn't stick around too long. There's a drying quality at the finish that makes you want another sip, and the 8.8% ABV sits in your chest comfortably without being aggressive. This is the kind of beer that tastes like monks actually thought about it.
Ch'Ti Grand Cru
Ch'Ti Grand Cru is the golden ale that's easier to live with—smooth, a touch of caramel sweetness, but restrained enough that it never gets cloying. The lower IBU and ABV make it feel lighter despite the strength, which sounds contradictory but works. It's refined without being pretentious, and you can drink it steadily without the spice fatigue.
