Chimay Tripel, with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. The beer’s flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, wheat starch, sugar, hop extract and yeast.

A complex plateau of what must be sterling hops and exotic citrus and Asian spices. Very clean malt balance and crisp refreshing finish that pleads with the drinker to have another sip. It is the devil, such a rare and special beer that goes down so easily and quickly. It has a slight astringent bitterness and fruit flavors that use your tongue as a dance floor long after the brew is finished.
