Description

Duvel's Triple Hop Citra is a bold Belgian strong pale ale that artfully combines the rich traditions of Belgian brewing with the vibrant nuances of American hop craftsmanship. Hailing from the storied region of Flanders, this beer stands out with its intriguing blend of flavors, thanks to the strategic use of Citra hops. Expect a lively citrus aroma that precedes a cleverly balanced bitterness, a characteristic feature of its 40 IBU. With a robust ABV of 9.5%, this ale offers a well-rounded and spirited drinking experience that is both refreshing and memorable. The bright citrus notes of Triple Hop Citra pair exceptionally well with a variety of culinary delights. Its crispness and subtle bitterness make it an excellent companion for spicy foods, such as Thai or Mexican dishes, where it can complement and soothe the heat. Additionally, the beer's effervescence works beautifully with rich, creamy cheeses, cutting through the creaminess and enhancing the flavors. For a classic Belgian match, consider enjoying it alongside moules-frites, where the beer's bitterness contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the mussels and the saltiness of the fries. For the optimal experience, serve Triple Hop Citra at a slightly chilled temperature, around 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, to allow its complex flavors to fully manifest. A tulip glass is the ideal choice, as its shape captures the intense aromas while supporting the sturdy head, enhancing your overall sensory experience. This beer is best savored slowly, allowing each sip to reveal the intricate layers of citrus, malt, and hops that make it truly unique.

    Went down smooth for me, honestly didn't expect it to be so easy drinking at this strength.

    Appreciate it! La Chouffe is another smooth Belgian if you're curious.

    Late dinner and a Triple Hop Citra, felt that 9.5% in the legs by the end. Tastes bright, definitely packs a punch. Would go slow next time.

    That Duvel can sneak up on you for sure. If you want something with a bit less kick but similar flavor, try Chimay Doree next time. - Tom
