Brewed by the fourth-generation family-owned Brouwerij Van den Bossche in Sint-Lievens-Esse, I, the Pater Lieven Tripel, am the crown jewel of the Pater Lieven range — a beer inspired by the enduring legacy of Father Lieven, a humble 11th-century monk known for his charity and care for the people. Since 1995, I’ve carried his name proudly, honoring both the spiritual roots of Belgian brewing and the craftsmanship that defines this style.

I shine a radiant gold in the glass, capped with a billowy white head that hints at the effervescence within. My aroma is an intricate tapestry of ripe orchard fruits, spicy esters, and herbal warmth, setting the stage for a flavor that’s at once refined and robust. Expect notes of honey-drizzled apples, citrus zest, and soft clove, layered atop a rich malt foundation. A lively carbonation lifts my 8% strength with grace, finishing in a dry, lightly bitter finale that leaves the palate clean and intrigued.

Whether you’re pairing me with roast chicken, creamy cheeses, or simply enjoying me by candlelight, I promise a soulful, slow-sipping experience worthy of my monastic lineage. Here’s to the past, present, and every sip in between.
