 |  | Trappist Brewery Koningshoeven
Tilburg, Netherlands |
| Koningshoeven/La Trappe is one of only seven Trappist breweries in the world allowed to carry the logo "Authentic Trappist Product". This logo guarantees authenticity, recipe and tradition.
Koningshoeven/La Trappe is the only Trappist Ale that is made in The Netherlands; the other six Trappist breweries are situated in Belgium. In the USA and Canada the La Trappe Trappist Ales are marketed under the name Koningshoeven Trappist Ale.
These world-class beers have been brewed at the Cistercian Abbey of Onze Lieve Vrouw van Koningshoeven since 1884. |
|  | | Isid’or La Trappe Isid’or has been specially developed to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the only Trappist brewery in the Netherlands. The jubilee beer is named for Brother Isidorus, the first brewer of La Trappe.
La Trappe Isid’or is a mildly sweet amber beer with a caramel note. The beer is a little bitter to the taste and has a fruity finish. La Trappe Isid’or owes its special aroma to the Perle hop, which we grow ourselves. The ideal serving temperature is 10-12 degrees Celsius (50-53.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
7.5% ABV Bottle Conditioned
Available in 11.2oz bottle; 750ml bottle; 20L keg.
|  | | Dubbel Koningshoeven Dubbel is a deep reddish brown in color with a creamy tan foam. The aroma is of dried fruit and candy, with the faintest hint of hops. On the tongue, Dubbel is malty and slightly sweet with a fruity, soft character.
Koningshoeven ales are all well-suited to the dinner table, but the Dubbel is a superstar with any kind of grilled or roasted meat or highly spiced food. It complements the flavor of many cheeses and is delicious with nuts. 7.0% ABV Bottle Conditioned
Available in 11.2oz bottle; 750ml bottle; 20L keg.
|  | | Tripel A rich, brassy golden in color and sporting a slightly off-white foam, Koningshoeven Tripel is the hoppiest of the Koningshoeven range, displaying a beautiful balance of hoppy bitterness and full malt flavor. You will notice spices, fruit and hops in the nose. On the palate Tripel is slightly bitter, spicy and refreshing.
The style "Tripel" generally means a beer that is golden in color and strong. Like most Belgian or Benelux ales, it's also bottle conditioned (as are all Koningshoeven ales) which means that living yeast are in each bottle and produce the carbonation in the package. This yeast is normal and healthy, as well as rich in vitamins and minerals. If you notice a thin layer of sediment in each bottle, it's due to this yeast. 8.0% ABV Bottle Conditioned
Available in 11.2oz bottle; 750ml bottle.
|  | | Quadrupel Quadrupel sits at the top of the Koningshoeven range. At 10% alcohol by volume, it's a big deep amber beer with a rich, warming flavor. Full-bodied and mild, slightly sweet and just a hint of bitterness round out the palate. In the nose you will detect fruit, a faint, pleasant yeastiness and just a touch of resiny hops.
Although Quadrupel is delicious when consumed fresh, it can benefit from years of aging in a cool, dark place. The flavor of aged Quadrupel is reminiscent of port. We encourage aging of the smaller, capped bottles for best success. 10.0% ABV Bottle Conditioned
Available in 11.2oz bottle; 750ml bottle; 20L keg.
|  | | Trappist Witte A slight variation on the classic Belgian style, Koningshoeven Witte is an unfiltered wheat beer brewed for summertime enjoyment. The only Trappist Witte available! 5.5% ABV
Available in 20L keg.
|  | | Bock Koningshoeven is the only Trappist brewery to produce a Bock beer. This style if of particular historical interest to the monks of Koningshoeven as it had been produced at the monastery around WWII but subsequently discontinued in favor of the more traditional Dubbel and Tripel ales.
Koningshoven Bock is a beautiful example of the Dutch expression of that style. Very deep red in the glass with a cream-colored foam, it is a delight for the eye. Richly roasted and deeply flavored malts round out the palate, highlighted and contrasted by the surprising depth of hop flavor and bitterness, all melding into a long and luxurious finish.
7.0% ABV Bottle Conditioned
Available in 11.2oz bottle; 750ml bottle.
