This Belgian Tripel Abbey ale is brewed with wheat, oats and barley according to a recipe from 1679. The back label declares this a "Blond, robust, smooth, and fruity three grain beer with final fermentation in the bottle."

You are encouraged to create a large head and to leave around 5mm in the bottle, though more experienced drinkers may like to add the yeasty deposit that's otherwise left there.
