St. Bernardus Tripel

In the region around the West Flemish village of Watou, the Tripel beer style has a very special name: The Belgian classic is affectionately known here as Bernadetje. This nickname is several decades old and refers to Bernadette, the youngest daughter of Evariste Deconinck. Evariste is the man who took over the St. Bernardus brewery from the Trappist monks and continued its culinary heritage with great dedication and attention to detail.

The beery homage to his Bernadetje (translated from Dutch as "little Bernadette") is a strong brew with an alcohol content of 8.0% and a bright golden color that is streaked with delicate veils of yeast. An airy crown of velvety foam sits enthroned on the sunny yellow beer and emits a floral aroma. The taste profile of the blonde St. Bernardus Tripel is made up of fruity, floral and tart components. The silky-smooth sweetness is interspersed with a pleasant hop bitterness, which also brings a summery freshness to the beer. The brew has a light-footed character, which can be modified through maturation thanks to the high alcohol content. The beer can be stored in the bottle for up to two years without losing any of its taste or quality. On the contrary: ageing deepens the aroma and gives it an exciting complexity.

Matured or unmatured - St. Bernardus Tripel is a treat for the palate for special moments!
