Straffe Hendrik Wild is a wild variant of the well-known Straffe Hendrik Tripel. The beer undergoes a refermentation in the bottle with a wild yeast: the 'Brettanomyces' or 'Brett' yeast. This gives the beer a longer natural shelf life and ensures a special flavor evolution over the years. The beer is only bottled once a year, meaning only a limited supply of each edition is available.
Only after three months in the warm room is the refermentation of the wild yeasts completed and the young beer is drinkable. However, the beer continues to evolve in the years that follow. The bitter hop aromas soften, while the wild yeasts continue to work and form fruity and floral aromas.
