About

Kompel Tripel Hop is a Belgian tripel from Brouwerij Kompel's Nostalgia Collection, brewed in partnership with Kasteelbrouwerij Ter Dolen. This beer honours the coal mining heritage of Maasmechelen and Limburg through a balanced, hop-forward expression. Light in colour with full flavour, the beer opens with fruity aromatics—banana and pear are prominent. The palate showcases the interplay of multiple hop varieties, delivering a clean, assertive bitterness that frames sweet, estery notes typical of Belgian high-fermentation brewing. The 10.5% ABV provides warmth without overwhelming the delicate balance. The finish is crisp and gently bitter, making the beer approachable despite its strength. This is a discontinued release from Kompel's heritage collection, capturing a moment in the brewery's story that continues to resonate with those who remember it.
