Triceratops Tripel

History & Style

Gruits take inspiration from centuries-old brewing tradition; a time before the Bavarian Purity Act of 1516 that declared that all beer be made solely with barley, hops, and water. In gruit ale, herbs, spices and other botanicals replace a dominant hop character, throwing open the door to experimentation with flavour and beer terroir. The tripel is a relatively new style of beer, originating in the Trappist breweries of Belgium.

Triceratops Tripel pours hazy pale yellow with a light white foam. The aroma offers lemon and pepper notes. The flavour is spicy, herbal and fruity. The finish lends lasting warmth.
