Ypra Hoppy Tripel is a distinctive Belgian strong golden ale brewed by Omer Vander Ghinste Brewery in Bellegem, Belgium. With an alcohol content of 10% ABV, this bottle-conditioned beer combines the rich malt character of a traditional Belgian tripel with a vibrant, fruit-forward hop profile.
Its clear golden colour is crowned by a thick, creamy white head. The aroma reveals expressive notes of orange, mandarin and grapefruit, complemented by delicate hints of peach and apricot produced during fermentation.
On the palate, Ypra Hoppy Tripel offers a full-bodied, smooth texture. Rich malt sweetness balances the refreshing citrus character, while a pleasant hop bitterness creates an elegant, lingering finish.
Despite its strength, the beer remains remarkably balanced and enjoyable.
Serve chilled alongside smoked salmon, grilled seafood, spicy dishes or mature cheeses. This Belgian tripel offers an excellent introduction to the combination of traditional brewing techniques and contemporary hop expression.

Bottled at 10% ABV, this expressive beer combines the generous malt character associated with traditional Belgian tripels and the fresh, aromatic personality of carefully selected hops.
A Belgian Brewing Heritage Dating Back to 1836
The Ypra name has historical roots in the city of Ypres, where the Vermeulen family established a brewery in 1836.
The original brewery remained active until 1976. Today, Omer Vander Ghinste Brewery continues this heritage through the revived Ypra range.
Hoppy Tripel offers a modern interpretation of this Belgian brewing tradition, placing particular emphasis on aromatic freshness and flavour balance.
Brewing and Ingredients
Ypra Hoppy Tripel is brewed using water, barley malt, wheat malt, hops and yeast.
Top fermentation contributes to the development of fruity aromas, while secondary fermentation in the bottle enhances its natural carbonation and aromatic complexity.
The combination of malt sweetness and hop bitterness creates a rich yet refreshing tasting experience.

Food Pairing and Serving Suggestions
