Brouwerij Abdij der Trappisten van Westmalle Westmalle Trappist Tripel

Brouwerij Abdij der Trappisten van Westmalle • Westmalle, Belgium

Was first brewed in 1934 and the recipe has not changed since 1956. It is made with pale candy sugar and has a very pale color produced from a mash of light pilsener malts. Styrian Goldings hops are used along with some German varieties and the classic Saaz pilsener hop. After a long secondary fermentation, the Tripel Westmalle is bottled with a dose of sugar and yeast. This beer holds up well in the bottle over time and seems to soften with age.
