Which of the following Belgian beers is always made with wheat?

  1. Belgian blond ale

  2. Dubbel

  3. Tripel

  4. Witbier

The correct answer is: Witbier

Witbier is a top-fermented Belgian beer that is traditionally made with at least 50% wheat in addition to barley malt. This gives it a light, refreshing flavor and often a cloudy appearance. The other options - Belgian blond ale, dubbel, and tripel - are all typically made with a higher proportion of barley malt and do not necessarily use wheat in their recipes. While some versions of these styles may include wheat as a secondary ingredient, it is not a defining characteristic and cannot be assumed. Therefore, none of these options can be considered the "always made with wheat" Belgian beer.
