Indulge in the complex and deceptive charm of Woodstock Brewery Sweet Mary Jane Tripel, a standout addition to Cape Town’s craft beer scene. The brewers create this Belgian-style Tripel as a “little sister” to their famous Sugarman Quad. This beer exhibits a delicate bouquet of Belgian spice, cloves, and subtle citrus notes. It earns its unique profile from three months of aging in Vin de Constance late harvest dessert wine barrels. Consequently, the liquid gains a rich, honeyed character that masks its potent 9% alcohol volume with remarkable smoothness.
The palate offers a semi-sweet and spicy experience that delights connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. You will notice a mellow sweetness from the dessert wine barrels perfectly balancing the herbal bitterness of the hops. This 330ml bottle provides a sophisticated alternative to standard ales and lagers. The beer recently gained further prestige by winning a Silver Medal at the 2025 South African National Beer Trophy. This award confirms its status as one of the best specialty beers in the country. It remains a must-try for those seeking a bold yet refined brew with artisanal roots.
Pour your Woodstock Brewery Sweet Mary Jane Tripel into a chalice to fully appreciate its golden hue and aromatic depth. The beer pairs excellently with spicy Thai cuisine, creamy cheeses, or even fruit-based desserts. Its high ABV and barrel-aged complexity make it an ideal choice for slow sipping on a cool evening. This brew represents the creative spirit and technical skill of the Woodstock-based team. Therefore, it is a perfect gift for any craft beer lover who appreciates traditional Belgian styles with a South African twist.
