Westmalle
Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a
secondary fermentation in the bottle (9,5% alcohol). It is a complex
beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and
creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An
exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with a
splendid long aftertaste.
The Westmalle Tripel is indeed called
the “mother of all tripels”. This type of beer was first brewed in
Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came into use. The
current formula has stayed practically unchanged since 1956, thus more
than 50 years.

This amber beer with strong pronounced honey aromas, has, very predictable, a dominating taste of honey. But we cannot catalogue this Bière de Miel biologique in the range of sweet beers, on the contrary. The sugar in the organic honey, fully refermented in the bottle, creates a beer, not sweet at all but full of honey aromas and ditto taste.

The Cervesia is a blond top fermentation beer with refermentation in the bottle.
On
demand of the “Archéosite d’Aubechies”, which is an archeological site
in a little village nearby the brewery, this beer was created in 1983,
exclusifly for this site. The most unusual composition of this beer is
due to a long and intens research by Mr. André Hallard, at that time
“Master of Research” of the F.N.R.S.
The aromas of flowers and
herbs, a very fresh and spicy touch but also a lot of hidden aspects are
the result of a mixture of barley and malt, hop and many different
herbs and spices. The association of these barley and wheat malts make
this Cervesia a very fresh and thirst-quenching beer. A real
refermentation in the bottle, even for many years in your cellar,
results in a very unusual beer.
ABV: 8.0%
*This beer is also known as Dupont Cervesia

The Bière de Belœil is a top fermentation beer with refermentation in the bottle and with an amber colour.
The
creation of this beer in 1988, happened on demand of the village of
Belœil, well-known for its “Château de Belœil”. Although at first only
available in this area, the demand of this amber beer is becoming more
and more increasing.
Its colour, taste and aromas are the result of a brewing process, which is a mixture of 5 different types of malt.
When tasting, especially the aromas of these special malts, in combination with the fine hop varieties, will dominate.
This rather complex beer has a real refermentation in the bottle which will continue for a long time in your cellar.

Belgian Ales represent the height of the brewers' art. Sophisticated
brewing techniques, yeast blends and unique flavoring elements have
elevated the beers of Belgium to the status enjoyed by wine in other
countries.
PranQster follows in this tradition using a mixed
culture of antique yeast strains that produce a floral nose, a full
fruity flavor and a clean finish.
