Belgian Blonde Ale 6.2 º 17 IBU

Brasserie de Bertinchamps

This Belgian Blond Ale offers a sophisticated sensory profile, opening with a floral bouquet of freshly cut straw and the aroma of grilled cereals. The fermentation character is driven by traditional Belgian yeast, yielding subtle esters of banana and apricot alongside a distinct hint of pepper. A delicate honey-like sweetness from the malt provides a smooth foundation without the use of additives or spices. The palate is well-balanced, featuring a refined touch of bitterness and a creamy, mouth-filling texture. It concludes with a clean, refreshing finish, making it a classic representation of the style’s nuanced complexity and artisanal craftsmanship.

Appearance. Deep gold color (approximately 5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Crowned by a large, dense, and creamy white head that displays excellent retention and leaves thick Belgian lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet malt and toasted bread notes, with a subtle suggestion of honey. The yeast profile provides moderate fruity esters of apricot and banana, accompanied by light spicy-peppery phenols and a floral, earthy hop character reminiscent of freshly cut straw.

Taste. Initial impression is of smooth, grainy-sweet malt and grilled cereals. The palate develops with faint honey-like sweetness balanced by moderate hop bitterness. Yeast-derived flavors of stone fruit and soft pepper are prominent. The finish is medium-dry and soft, with a lingering, clean aftertaste of malt and floral hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable creaminess. High carbonation creates a lively, bubbly sensation. Alcohol warmth is light and very well-integrated, providing a smooth experience with no astringency.
