Tre Fontane - Tripel
A top-fermented tripel at 8.5 percent, brewed to the recipe of the Trappist community at Tre Fontane near Rome. Its distinguishing note comes from the abbey's own grounds: eucalyptus grown on site lends a mild, sweet herbal character you won't find elsewhere in the style. At 26 IBU the bitterness stays in the background. Italy's only Trappist brewery, producing no more than a thousand hectolitres a year — and carrying the Authentic Trappist Product seal.

Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
