The Bruges city beer of old, potent and bitter-sweet BRUGGE Tripel has a beautiful golden-blond colour and a firm, rocky head, leaving a trail of Bruges lace on the glass. The aroma has a typical touch of smoked phenolic, and the flavour is bitter, rich and creamy.
The secret of the BRUGGE Tripel city beer is the unique composition of the “gruut” blend of herbs and spices used to enrich its flavour and aroma. In Bruges, anyone brewing beer was obliged to purchase “gruut” from the city’s herbs and spices shop, known as the “Gruuthuse”. Jan van Brugge and his descendents, who later changed their name to Van Gruuthuse, had a monopoly on the sale of Bruges “gruut” that lasted late into the 16th century. At the same time, taxes were levied to the Count of Flanders. In BRUGGE Tripel, this medieval tradition continues.

Gyllene klar vätska med vitt täckande skum. Tillbakahållna dofter där det går att urskilja jäst och örter. Fruktig, maltig kropp. Lätt fyllig munkänsla och eldig.

0.33l bottle. Murky orangish golden body with a lasting white head. Aroma of orange zest, coriander, lemon zest, bready malts and a bit of peach. Taste of bready malts, sugar syrup, coriander, orange zest and some floral hops. Sweet, fruity and spicy at the same time. It could have a bit thicker body but still, I could drink this beer anytime. Very well made tripel.
