Story & Heritage

ABOUT THIS BEER

The tripel of Brasserie de la Senne, named 'wooden leg' after a colourful figure of old Brussels. Like everything de la Senne makes, it is unfiltered, unpasteurised and naturally carbonated, a malt-forward, elegantly bitter tripel that shows the brewery applying its restraint to a classic strong style.

On the Tripel style, Strong, golden-colored ale. Complex spiciness, fruity esters (banana, orange), and a sweet malt backbone masked by high carbonation and a dry finish.

THE MONK'S NOTE

Pour it into a tulip, served around 8-12°C, and let its aromatics open before the first sip. Lovely now, though a year or two will only soften and deepen it.
