Straffe Hendrik Tripel
a golden triple with a sturdy white collar. The aroma is spicy with hints of black pepper, coriander and ginger, and is even insinuating the presence of oranges. The beer is brewed with a selection of Saaz and Styrian hops of a very high quality. The subtle blend of six special varieties of malt gives the beer a well-balanced and powerful taste. The palate initiates a hint of caramel, soon flowing into a certain bitterness. In the finish one can discover citrus fruits and even subtle flavours of banana.
This is the story of a family brewery located in the historical center of Bruges. Since 1856, six generations of the Maes’ family have been leading the brewery with one single goal: producing superior beer both in quality and in taste, while respecting the traditional art of brewing.
