Tre Fontane Tertia

Abbazia delle Tre Fontane
Tap to rate
🌍 Italy · Golden Ale · One of 21 Golden Ales in hopIQ

Tre Fontane Tertia arrives in the glass as brilliant gold with greenish reflections—a colour that signals both restraint and clarity. The aroma carries the dry, mineral register of olive leaf, herbaceous rather than fruity, which sets this Golden Ale apart from sweeter takes on the style. At five per cent alcohol, it drinks light and aperitif-ready, the kind of beer that invites a second glass without heaviness. The pint glass is the natural vessel, letting the clarity speak. A monastic brew in its composure.

Aroma

The nose offers a distinctly dry and mineral character, leading with olive leaf and herbaceous notes that distinguish this Golden Ale from sweeter interpretations of the style. There is no overripe fruit or cloying sweetness; instead, the aromatic profile remains restrained and composed, with subtle herbal complexity that suggests monastic restraint. Noble hops provide a clean, verdant backdrop without assertiveness.
