Belgian Blonde Ale 6.4 º 40 IBU

Belgoo Brewery

This organic Belgian Blond Ale presents a vibrant twist on tradition, utilizing a complex grist of Barley malt, Wheat malt, and Spelt. The inclusion of Spelt and Wheat provides a rustic, slightly grainy foundation that complements the expressive fermentation. While rooted in the style's classic profile, it is elevated by an intensive dry-hopping of Citra, which imparts bold, zesty aromas of grapefruit and lime alongside the characteristic spicy-peppery phenols. The result is a medium-bodied, bright ale where a firm bitterness meets a crisp, citrus-forward finish, bridging the gap between a traditional blonde and a modern hoppy ale.

Appearance. Deep yellow to deep gold (5-6 SRM). It features a large, dense, and creamy white head with excellent retention and thick Belgian lacing. Clarity is generally clear, though a very faint protein haze may be present from the wheat and spelt.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. The aroma is dominated by a bright, citrusy hop character featuring lemon peel and grapefruit from the Citra hops. Supporting this is a grainy-sweet malt profile with subtle bready and nutty notes from the spelt. Fermentation adds a layer of spicy-peppery phenols and light orange esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a blend of grainy-sweet malt and zesty citrus flavors. The malt backbone, influenced by wheat and spelt, provides a rustic, bready flavor. Citra hops deliver distinct grapefruit and lime notes. Bitterness is medium and firm, slightly higher than typical for the style, balancing the malt. The yeast character provides a subtle peppery spice that lingers into a medium-dry, crisp finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slightly creamy texture derived from the alternative grains. Carbonation is medium-high, creating a mouth-filling, bubbly sensation. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated, providing a smooth experience without any harshness.
