What is the ABV range commonly found in a Triple/Tripel beer?

The common ABV (Alcohol by Volume) range for a Triple or Tripel beer is typically between 7.5% and 9.5%. This higher alcohol content is a defining characteristic of Triple beers, which are known for their rich, complex flavors and typically involve a process of triple fermentation, leading to a stronger product. The style originated in Belgium, where brewers aimed to create a rich and drinkable beer that also had a higher alcohol content.

Beers in this range tend to have a pronounced sweetness, fruity esters, and a spicy phenolic character, which contribute to their distinctive taste profile. The increased alcohol content is balanced by the malt sweetness and hop bitterness, creating a well-rounded beer that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods.
