As expected, the Tripel generally lies between the Dubbel and the Quadrupel in strength and in ABV.
Slightly darker than a typical Pilsner, the Tripel is usually slightly hazy, due to bottle conditioning. The local yeasts give this ale fruity banana and clove-like flavors, while the pale malts (and occasional addition of Belgian candi sugar) give the beer a sweeter finish and light body. Bitterness can be high for such a light body and color, but the malt balances nicely. Alcohol can be high, and range from slightly noticeable to dangerously subtle.
Best served cool, 46-54 degrees, in a beer snifter, stemmed tulip glass, or a chalice.

A strong and robust beer encased in light creamy flavors, this hazy golden triple is truly a sheep in wolves' clothing.

Our Trippel Belgian Style Ale (pronounced triple) opens with a bold blast of hops that slowly gives way to the fruity esters implied by our Belgian yeast strain. In the Belgian tradition of brewing singles, doubles and triples, Trippel is the strongest with the longest fermentation.
