Tripel style
Tripel style refers to a specific type of Belgian ale characterized by its high alcohol content, usually between 8-12%, and its complex, nuanced flavors. It traditionally uses a blend of ale yeasts and a significant addition of sugar during brewing, which boosts alcohol while keeping the beer relatively smooth. Tripels are typically golden to deep amber in color, with a rich, malty sweetness balanced by fruity and spicy notes from the yeast. They are often full-bodied, with a warming finish, and are enjoyed for their depth and sophistication in flavor.
