About

Zundert 8 is a top-fermented Tripel brewed by Trappistenbrouwerij De Kievit, nestled within Maria Toevlucht Abbey in Zundert, Netherlands. This chestnut-coloured beer undergoes bottle conditioning and presents a distinctive aroma layered with herbs and spices that echo the surrounding landscape. The palate reveals light fruit notes balanced by subtle bitterness, unfolding smoothly and deceptively mild for its 8% strength. The finish is clean and understated, making this Trappist ale surprisingly approachable despite its alcohol content. The brewery grounds itself in classical ingredients: barley malt, hops and yeast, with a small portion of malt smoked over peat. This considered approach reflects the abbey's commitment to authentic Trappist brewing tradition.
