Complex golden-to-bronze brew with hints of vanilla mixed with citrus aromas. Tastes of not only the lightness and freshness of wheat, but also the creaminess of oats together with a spicy lemony almost quinine dryness. 8.4% ABV.

Tripel Karmeliet is still brewed to an authentic beer recipe from 1679 originating in the former Carmelite monastery in Dendermonde. Written over 300 years ago, this recipe describes the use of three kinds of grain: wheat, oats and barley.

The name Tripel karmeliet thus refers both to its origin and its in-bottle refermentation. From many trial brews of multigrain tripels carried out at our brewery in the 90s, it appears that the particular historic combination of the 3 kinds of grain still remains the ideal blend.
