Brasserie Les Acolytes Road Triple Belgische Tripel

General Information

Road Triple is a classic Belgian tripel, brewed by Brasserie Les Acolytes in Brussels. This golden-colored tripel combines traditional Belgian brewing techniques with a light modern twist. The beer is brewed with pale malts, Belgian yeast, and noble hop varieties, and has a strong alcohol content of 8.5%. Road Triple is unfiltered and undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, which adds depth and results in a natural, slightly cloudy appearance.

Tasting Profile of Road Triple

Road Triple has a warm golden color with a creamy, white foam head. On the nose: aromas of banana, clove, pepper, and light citrus. The flavor is full, mildly malty, and lightly sweet, with spicy esters from the yeast and a dry, slightly bitter finish. The alcohol is well integrated, providing a pleasant warmth without overpowering. The mouthfeel is creamy, lightly sparkling, and surprisingly drinkable.

Serving Advice

Road Triple is a versatile specialty beer that pairs excellently with spicy dishes or cheeses. Some serving suggestions:

• With semi-hard cheeses such as abbey cheese or Comté
• With spicy dishes, for example Thai curry or spiced chicken
• Pure, as a sipping beer at room temperature
• In combination with fish in cream sauce or a quiche Lorraine

Serving temperature: 8–10°C
Pouring tip: pour carefully, preferably leaving the sediment in the bottle

Fun Fact

The name “Road Triple” refers to the journey this tripel takes between tradition and experimentation. Brasserie Les Acolytes brews in small batches and is inspired by classic Belgian styles but often adds a creative twist. This tripel is a prime example: familiar in style, but slightly fresher and drier than traditional abbey versions.
