hopIQ take
Calavera Belgian Tripel if you want that classic Belgian spice-and-yeast complexity,
Ch'Ti Grand Cru if you want something rounder and more approachable.
Both sit in that 8–9% sweet spot, but Calavera leans into the style's peppery, herbal backbone while Ch'Ti smooths things out with grain-forward body. The IBU difference (30 vs. 25) is real but subtle—you'll notice Calavera's bite more on the finish.

Tasting notes
Calavera Belgian Tripel
Calavera hits you immediately with that Belgian tripel signature: white pepper, coriander, a whisper of clove. The 9% ABV shows up as warmth in the back of your throat, not burn. There's a honeyed sweetness mid-palate that almost tricks you into forgetting the alcohol is there, but it creeps back on the finish with a dry, slightly tannic grip. This is a beer that tastes like it was made to pair with food, not just to drink alone.
Ch'Ti Grand Cru
Ch'Ti goes for a softer touch—you get that malty, almost biscuity sweetness up front, with a subtle golden-fruit character that feels more refined than spicy. The lower ABV (8.4%) and IBU make it feel less aggressive than Calavera, almost like it's been polished. Finish is clean and slightly grainy, leaving you thinking about the next sip rather than the complexity of the last one.
