Moeder Overste Flip Top is a Belgian tripel ale from the historic brewery, Brasserie Lefebvre. Founded in 1876 to provide refreshment for the workers from the two nearby quarries, Brasserie Lefebvre has been producing flavourful Belgian ales ever since. Moeder Overste translates into English as ‘Mother Superior’, and some say the name is inspired by the rather overbearing mother-in-law of one of the brewers.
Flip the swing-top lid on this attractively presented bottle, and pour Moeder Overste to reveal a rich golden beer with an off-white head. The beer is perfumed with spices, wood and fruit flavours, for an enticing aroma. The flavour balances the rich malt body with a gentle bitterness for a drinkable tripel ale, deceptive at 8% ABV. Buy Moeder Overste Flip Top for a smooth, drinkable tripel ale from historic Belgian brewer, Lefebvre.

Mark Charrington –
In my tulip glass appears a hazy medium honey colour with a steady robust head Smells lemony then mixed spice and candy The first taste is tangerine then Tunnocks biscuits with a hoppy edge. A very satisfactory triple for any Mother Superior
Elle M –
A nice strong ale, slight fruity elements, pours well

Bittersweet and smooth. More of a pale ale than a classic tripel but pleasant nonetheless.
