A legacy not to be forgotten
Brewed using a 3-grain recipe rediscovered from the 1679 Carmelite monastery, Tripel Karmeliet blends nature’s gifts of barley, oats and wheat to produce a multi-layered tripel, refined yet balanced, with soft fruity notes and a surprisingly delicate taste.
This timeless beer is the embodiment of our relentless pursuit of beauty.
The Perfect Serve
To achieve perfection follow these simple steps:

01
Serve only between 6-9°C. Hold the glass at 45°, and pour the bottle horizontally. Continue pouring in the centre of the glass bringing the glass almost to a vertical grand finale.

02
If too little froth forms while pouring, elevate the bottle higher. Correctly served the head must reach from the top of the lilies to the brim of the glass.

03
Leave approximately 5 mm of beer in the bottle (this contains a yeast deposit). Optionally, add the yeast deposit afterwards. Enjoy a classic Belgian Tripel, served to perfection.
