Tradition: In the mid-20th century the Trappist brewery of Westmalle renamed their strongest beer "Tripel"; making it the first of many golden strong pale ales to use that term. The term refers to tripling the amount of malt used in the brewing, resulting in a higher ABV. As with the Dubbel, brewers worldwide now honor this classic style with their own versions.

Taste: The Belgian Tripel is a spicy, strong ale, typically pale or golden in color, with a pronounced ABV from 7% to 12%. Expect a medium to full body with lively carbonation and aromas. Bottle-conditioning yields flavor notes ranging from spicy to fruity to floral. Bitterness may vary from soft to sharp, and the finish is often delicate and dry.
