About

Vlaamsche Leeuw Tripel from De Brouwerij van Vlaanderen is a Belgian tripel with 8.5% ABV, launched in 2002 to commemorate 700 years of the Battle of the Golden Spurs, a defining moment in Flemish history. This tripel opens with fruity notes of pear and apple, complemented by subtle spicy undertones from the yeast. The palate shows a full, lightly sweet character with refined balance, leading into a pleasant finish where the fruity elements shine through elegantly. Despite its strength, the alcohol warmth remains well-hidden, making this beer approachable and rewarding. It represents a blend of old-world Flemish brewing tradition with contemporary craftsmanship.
