Availability: In stock

This traditional Tripel recipe has a white, creamy head. The aroma has elements of malt and citrus, which lead to a mildly sweet orange flavor. Our ingredients for this recipe include: 4 lb.

Sweet Orange peel, grain bag, priming sugar and yeast.



**Due to the amount of fermentable sugars it is strongly recommended to leave in secondary fermenter for 9-12 months to allow flavors to properly blend.

A good friend and homebrewing mentor tasted a glass of Tripel from my second (Tripel) batch in 2009 and simply commented, "Why would you want to brew anything other than this Tripel?" You can get this stuff imported from Belgium in many of the specialty shops - but for a $$$ healthy $$$ price...And I do from time-to-time. It's a great thing to be able to make it and have a bottle every day.

Thank you Midwest!

A damn fine brew. I let this sweet treat settle in the secondary for about 3.5 months, and then, I put in my keg fridge for the Christmas season. I don't think it lasted even 1.5 weeks. I had to make people try it at first and than after a couple I had to start taking away people's car keys. This kit alone is the reason to buy a extra better bottle.

I brewed my first batch of this in Sept 09 and let it sit in the secondary until march 10. It was well worth the wait. This brew tastes extremely smooth, but it does sneak up on you. I will definitely brew this again!!

Let it sit in secondary, best beer around Review by Tall Jake

This one's a must if you like anything in the Belgian style of ales. Done right it's malty but balanced.

When I brewed it, I was concerned the orange peel flavor would be too overwhelming. But, letting it clarify about 4 weeks in the secondary fermenter and sticking it in belgian bottles with corks has proved successful. The orange is mellow and blends well with the aroma of roses with a matly but not overly sweet taste and finish.

A fair amount of time and effort to do it right, but well worth it. After giving my friend John a bottle of this and then telling him I had some porter he could try, he responded, "If you've got any more of that Tripel, I'd take it off your hands! I could drink that stuff till I'm blue in the face!"

One of my go to kits Review by MNVader

I've brewed this beer 3X before and it always turns out perfect. It's one of the few kits that I don't mess with at all. It's fairly high in alcohol, but like the other reviewers say, it doesn't taste like it. The orange is way in the background, it's malty and has that kind of funky yeast flavor without getting sour.
Love it.

Super Ale! Review by Wayne

Product Rating:

First Belgium brew and worth the extra effort. Should note that this brew was made with the Wyeast Propagator Pak, more time, but explosive fermentation. 7 days in the primary, 3 weeks in the secondary, bottled for 2 weeks. Popped one last night to check for carbonation and adherence to style. Wow! Citrus, bread, banana, spices... the aromas just kept coming. Wonderful mouthfeel, super appearance: poured a lemon-gold with nice white head, good retention-nice lacing. Now, if I can just stay out of this stuff for another three to four months, it should be fit for a king...

I highly recommend this kit. Give it time, I was actually patient with this batch and it is paying off. I added the extra 1/2 oz Willamette hops that came with the kit for the last 2 min of the boil. I don't know if it made much of a difference, but it was there and I like hops, so in it went. Crystal clear with a nice head. I brewed and aged this beer in warmer than ideal temperatures, but it is delicious and nice and strong.
