Belgian Tripel 7.8 º 25 IBU

Effingut Breweries

Effingut’s Belgian Tripel is a sophisticated homage to monastic brewing, characterized by its deceptively drinkable profile. It presents a complex aromatic bouquet where peppery phenols and citrusy esters—reminiscent of orange and lemon—intertwine with a soft, honey-like Pilsner malt base. The palate is defined by a rounded malt flavor balanced by a firm yet integrated bitterness and a low, floral hop character. True to the style, the 7.8% alcohol is expertly hidden within a medium-bodied, effervescent frame. The experience concludes with a characteristically dry finish, leaving a lingering impression of spice and warmth that makes it an ideal selection for cooler weather.

Appearance. Deep yellow to pale gold (5-7 SRM). Features a dense, creamy, and long-lasting off-white head with excellent retention and characteristic Belgian lace. High clarity.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Complex seamless bouquet of peppery and clove-like phenols, citrusy esters (orange peel), and a light, honey-like grainy-sweet malt character. Low floral and perfumy hop notes with a soft, spicy alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression of soft malt sweetness followed quickly by spicy phenols and fruity esters. The malt flavor is supportive and clean. Hop flavor is low to moderate and floral. Bitterness is firm but not harsh, providing balance against the high gravity. Finish is remarkably dry and clean with a lingering spicy-fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with high, effervescent carbonation. Smooth and creamy from the dense head. Features a deceptive alcohol warmth that is gentle and well-integrated, lacking any harshness or fusel heat.
