Belgian Tripel 1 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit
A strong but pale Trappist-style ale, lighter in color than Dubbel but with a higher gravity and alcohol content. The addition of clear candi sugar dilutes the malt bill, which helps preserve the golden color and makes the body deceptively light for a beer of this strength. Spicy and fruity with a gentle sweetness and hints of alcohol throughout leading to a dry and mildly bitter finish.
The next step up from Dubbel in the monastic beer classification, Tripel is higher in alcohol than Dubbel but is actually lighter in color and body.
Modeled after a famous Belgian ale brewed by Trappist Monks, this traditional Tripel recipe pours a deep gold with a white, creamy head and the aroma has elements of malt and citrus, which lead to a mildly sweet orange flavor in the finish. It finishes dry despite it’s strength making it deceptively drinkable.
