Duvel Tripel Hop
Duvel Tripel Hop
Duvel is traditionally brewed with two hop varieties. Duvel Tripel Hop is brewed with three hop varieties and each year the third hop is changed to provide its own unique taste and aroma. This keeps the final flavor profile surprisingly exciting for any true beer lover. For 2016 our brewers selected HBC 291 from the Yakima Valley in the USA.
By using three instead of two hop varieties to brew, we obtain additional hop aromas and an increased bitterness. The typical Duvel palate is enriched with HBC 291 hops providing fresh notes of citrus, black pepper, lavender and roses.
HBC 291 hops are added again during ‘dry-hopping’, extracting additional hop aromas into the beer. The
higher aromatic intensity rounds out the beer, backing the final alcohol content of 9.5%.
