Affligem – Tripel
AFFLIGEM TRIPEL Affligem Brewery Tripel ABV 9% 18-02-2026 4.0 / 5 Untappd: 3.66 (as of 18-02-2026) “Rich and fruity for a tripel, surprisingly creamy and balanced despite its hefty 9% ABV” Tasting Notes Appearance Deep golden amber with a dense white head. Strong retention and lively carbonation. Aroma Ripe pear, light banana, soft clove spice and subtle honey sweetness. Mouthfeel Medium body with creamy texture. Carbonation is lively but smooth, adding lift without sharpness. Flavor Balanced malt sweetness upfront. Fruity esters dominate with gentle pepper spice. Finish Drying and slightly bitter. Fruit and spice linger pleasantly. Overall Impression A well-rounded classic tripel with surprising creaminess and balance. My Verdict This is the kind of tripel that surprises you. The 9% ABV sounds heavy on paper, but it drinks smoother than expected. The creamy texture stands out the most. It feels rich without becoming overwhelming. I’d gladly return to this one on a quiet evening when I want something classic but still interesting. In The Glass
