Tripel is a heavily top-fermented beer with an alcohol content of between 7% and 10%. The beer has a slightly sweetish taste and is also light in colour. The addition of extra sugars results in a higher alcohol percentage. The beer is refermented in the bottle. The use of multiple types of hops (such as "three times hopped") says nothing about the beer type as being a Tripel, but is only an indication of taste.

The name tripel originated in the Trappist monastery of Westmalle. Here it was used to indicate that this was the heaviest brew they had at the time. Three times more malt has been added to the brew than was normally the case. A special yeast is also used to get the typical tripel taste.
