Belgian-style Tripel with Motueka
Why are Belgian Tripels the same strength as American Double IPAs? Is it a metric thing? This is a hoppy tripel, but not a Triple IPA! Underneath all of the Motueka dry-hopping is a dry, fruity, Belgian ale. The aromatics harmonize - tropical lime from the hops, orchard fruit from the Belgian strains, and crackery from the Pilsner malt.

Draught at MBCC 26, Red Session. Kindly shared by Cunningham. Hazy golden body, declining white head. Tropical fruity aromas with a floral scent. Fresh taste of orange, grapefruits and Belgian yeast. Fruity bitterness to the finish. Nice. (Øksnehallen, Copenhagen 23.05.2026)
