Westmalle Tripel 75 cl

Brewery Note :

The Trappist beers from Westmalle are brewed according to a long tradition only using natural ingredients : water, malted barley, real hops, sugar and typical Westmalle brewer's yeast.

Cloudy brownish orange colour with some floating yeast particles and a foamy beige head that leaves a silky lace to the glass. Bready yeasty aroma of bananas. Sweet and malty fruity flavors with a slight bubblegum yeasty taste. Medium to fully bodied, alcohol taste comes out nicely as it warms. Complexity all the way... Dry aftertaste.

The mother of all Belgian Tripels that certainly belongs on "Kurt's Favourite List".

"Living" beer is re-fermented in the bottle, meaning that the taste is developing all the time. No two glasses are the same !

Westmalle Trappist Info

Over 200 years ago, the Trappists of Westmalle (Belgium) chose a live of prayer and work. This was their true vocation, according to the Rule of Saint Benedict who prescribed that monks were to support themselves.

Brewery

That is why there is also a brewery within the walls of the abbey. The monks consciously keep production limited with special care for people and the environment. And because they are not driven by profit, they spend what remains on charitable work and people in need.

Three types of beer are brewed winthin the walls of the Trappist abbey at Westmalle : A Triple, a Dubbel and an Extra.

The Extra is only brewed twice a year and is only intended for internal consumption : the monks and the abbey's guests drink this beer at lunchtime.
