Tripel

Tripel is a strong, golden-colored Belgian abbey ale characterized by its complex fruity-spicy yeast character, moderate bitterness, and deceptively high alcohol content. Originally developed at Westmalle Trappist Brewery in the 1930s, it typically features Belgian pilsner malt, noble hops, Belgian yeast strains, and often subtle spice additions or candi sugar to boost alcohol without heaviness.
