Belgian tripels are strong golden ales. They’re laden with hoppy, yeasty notes that rise over their sweet, bready and malty bases. Due to the yeasts used, it’s common to find fruity notes like banana, spices like clove, and herbiness like coriander, all coming to a smooth, clean finish.
Legend has it the Belgian tripel style was invented by monks at Trappist brewery Westmalle, though beer aficionados are still split on when and where tripels were exactly born, or even the meaning of the name (though it’s likely the ABV has something to do with it!).
Many of the Belgian tripel beers are brewed by Abbey or Trappist breweries, but many newer breweries produce fantastic examples of the style too. Take a look through the range above, contact us if you need anything and view our guides to learn more about beer.
