Description
De Trappist Achel wordt sinds 1850 gebrouwen binnen de muren van de Achelse Kluis onder toezicht van de monnikengemeenschap. De trappisten hebben gebrouwen tot de Duitsers in 1917 hun hele installatie meenamen. Tussen 1917 en 1998 werd er geen bier gebrouwen.In 1998 werd met de kennis en kunde van Rochefort, Westvleteren en Westmalle de brouwerij nieuw leven ingeblazen.
In 2021 verloor de brouwerij het ATP-logo, omdat er geen trappisten-monniken meer verbleven in de abdij. De productie van het bier gebeurde sindsdien onder toezicht van de abdij van Westmallle. In 2023 werd de abdij verkocht aan privéinvesteerders en werd de afhankelijkheid van de trappistenabdij van Westmalle verbroken.

Not every day I get to try a trappist tripel that i haven’t tried - thanks iphonephan. Very well balanced. Florals and light caramel. Some coriander. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Light sweet finish. Nice stuff. Bottle at Sovereign.

Bottle. Color: Rather light golden, white long lasting frothy head. Taste: Complex mix of yeast, medium sweet malts and floral hops. Hints of herbs in the background. Dry, frothy mouthfeel. Nice finish, tending to the hoppy side. No pronounced taste, smooth and easy drinkable beer.

330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, chestnut colour with dark ruby glimmer and average to huge, fluffy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Slightly cautious, fruity aroma has notes of cherry, black cherry, red and blue berries, later with additionaly with a toch of plum and raisin, no hints of sweetness. Taste is initially tartish, dry fruity, notes of cherry, black cherry, red and blue berries, black currant tartness, later, however, more and more sweet, notes of plum, hints of raisin, slightly spicy and minimally dusty yeasty overtones. Slightly thin, not overly complex, but very much pleasing.
