Rochefort Triple Extra 33 cl offers a distinctive expression of the Belgian Trappist tradition, shaped by the expertise of Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy. This blonde triple-style speciality beer delivers a full and nuanced tasting experience for those looking for more than an ordinary table beer. Its 8.1% vol. alcohol content gives it a pronounced presence, while its aromatic profile retains remarkable delicacy. Citrus, hops and spices blend with a soft malty backbone to create a moreish composition where freshness meets roundness. In a 33 cl bottle, it is equally suited to a carefully chosen aperitif or a gastronomic interlude. This is a beer to savour attentively when you want to create a warm, refined and generous atmosphere at the table.

A finely crafted triple Trappist beer with real character

Rochefort Triple Extra is aimed at lovers of characterful Belgian beers, as well as curious drinkers wishing to explore the world of abbey beers with elegance. Its top fermentation contributes to the richness of its expression without compromising its balance. The first impressions suggest citrus and hops, followed on the palate by a soft, gently bitter malt character. Orange peel and spices add a bright, almost festive dimension, making each sip a gradual discovery. Rather than seeking an immediate impact, the beer delivers a patiently developed harmony of richness, freshness and intensity. This 33 cl bottle allows you to fully appreciate its personality without weighing down the occasion, whether enjoyed with a meal, as an aperitif or during a focused tasting.

A recipe designed for aromatic depth

Brewed in Belgium by Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy, this Rochefort Triple Extra is based on a generous yet clearly defined recipe: water, barley malt, wheat malt, sugar, yeast, hops, orange peel and spices. Each element has its place in an aromatic structure where nothing feels superfluous. The malts provide a soft, enveloping base, while the hops create a gentle bitterness. Orange peel contributes an expressive citrus touch, enhanced by the spices that define the character of this strong Belgian blonde beer. This rich recipe makes it enjoyable at different paces: fresh and immediate as an aperitif, then fuller as its nuances unfold in the glass. It contains cereals containing gluten.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve Rochefort Triple Extra chilled, ideally between 6 and 10 °C, to allow its citrus, malt and spice notes to express themselves at their best. Serving it too cold may restrain some of its aromatic complexity, while a well-controlled serving temperature reveals its balance with greater precision. Pour it gently into a glass suited to speciality beers, then take time to appreciate its bouquet before the first sip. Thanks to its 33 cl format, it is a natural choice for a special moment, whether enjoyed alone or shared, without turning the tasting into a performance. Its richness calls for moderation and attention to detail.

Food pairings

• Appetisers: enjoy it with roasted nuts, gougères or slices of bread topped with mature cheese.
• Starters: it pairs well with country terrine, cold herb-seasoned poultry or roasted vegetables.
• Main courses: serve it with golden-roasted poultry, a slow-cooked dish with mild spices or sweet-and-savoury cuisine.
• Cheeses: its malty backbone and spicy character pair particularly well with pressed cheeses and full-flavoured varieties.
• Desserts: try it with citrus pastries, a dried-fruit tart or a lightly spiced dessert.
