HOPIQ TAKE

Tre Fontane Tripel if you want monastic restraint and elegance, Voodoo Gran Met if you want amplitude and craft swagger. Both sit at tripel strength with identical bitterness, but Tre Fontane—brewed by actual Trappist monks—carries a quieter authority: lighter, more delicate, built on centuries of formula. Voodoo swings slightly harder in ABV and feels more contemporary, leaning into the style's fruit-forward theatricality. Neither is better; it's about whether you're in the mood for whispered complexity or confident presence.

TASTING NOTES

Tre Fontane Tripel

FruityHerbalClean

Tre Fontane tastes like what happens when discipline meets fermentation. You get honeyed pear and a whisper of banana—nothing aggressive, nothing forcing itself on your palate. The finish is clean and almost mineral, with that characteristic Belgian yeast spice threading through without dominating. It's a beer that asks you to pay attention rather than announce itself. Drinks lighter than 8.5% suggests, which is exactly the point.

Voodoo Gran Met

DryFruityPeach

Voodoo Gran Met shows its extra 0.7% ABV immediately: warmer, slightly rounder, with more pronounced apricot and subtle vanilla notes. There's a creamy mouthfeel that Tre Fontane doesn't attempt, and the yeast comes across as more floral, almost perfumed. The bitterness is identical on paper but feels more integrated here, playing backup to the fruit rather than providing skeletal structure. This is a beer that wants to be enjoyed, not just contemplated.
