How to Brew: Belgian Tripel Homebrew Beer Recipe

Serious Eating / Sarah Postma

The Trappist monks of Westmalle Abbey have been producing Tripel as their main beer style for over 70 years. This pale strong beer is recognizable by its fruity and herbal aromas and sweet malt flavor that seems to quickly disappear from the tongue. The simplicity of the basic recipe makes this an excellent style for the beginning homebrewer but it will also push the boundaries for the advanced homebrewer trying to capture that perfect Belgian yeast character.
