Affligem Tripel is a shining example of the traditional Belgian Tripel style, brewed by the renowned Brouwerij Affligem. It's characterized by a rich golden-blond color, underpinned by an exquisite balance of malt and hops. The beer's flavor profile is complex, featuring a mild malty aroma with intense ripe fruit notes, notably banana, alongside nuances of stone fruits like apricots and peaches, and a hint of citrus. This complexity is further emphasized by in-bottle re-fermentation, leading to a refreshingly bitter finish.
The beer is well-known for its full mouthfeel and is remarkably balanced considering its high alcohol content of 9% ABV.
The Affligem Tripel is not only a testament to the brewery's commitment to quality but also to the rich tradition of Belgian brewing. Brewed according to the Formula Antiqua Renovata, an ancient abbey recipe, Affligem Tripel is a product of high-quality summer-barley malt, Savinsjki Golding and Spalter Select aroma hops, and a unique in-house yeast. The fermentation process, which includes a second fermentation in the bottle, produces esters that give the beer its fruity impressions, maturing the beer into a complex, layered beverage.
This Tripel pairs well with rich dishes like foie gras or rabbit and can enhance the flavor of hearty soups or stews. Its full taste also makes it an excellent match for stews using beef or game, accompanied by a compote of dried fruits like dates, raisins, or apricots.
