Belgian Blonde Ale 5.5 º 22 IBU

Bierbrouwerij De Arn
De Zoetermeerse Brouwerij

This Belgian Blond Ale offers a vibrant sensory journey inspired by the historical tavern scenes of Rembrandt. A bright, golden pour leads with a complex aroma of grainy-sweet malt and subtle honeyed notes, underpinned by a classic yeast profile of zesty lemon and orange esters. On the palate, a soft crackery malt foundation supports delicate peppery phenols and a light, earthy hop presence. Despite its lower ABV, it maintains the traditional Belgian character with a smooth, effervescent mouthfeel and a crisp, dry finish. It is a refreshing, modern interpretation of a classic ale, balancing historical intrigue with contemporary drinkability.

Appearance. Deep gold color (5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a large, dense, creamy white head with excellent retention and characteristic Belgian lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a grainy-sweet, slightly toasty malt base and hints of honey. The yeast contribution provides clear citrusy esters reminiscent of orange zest and lemon peel, accompanied by a background of spicy, peppery phenols and light earthy hop notes.

Taste. Initial impression of soft, grainy-sweet malt followed by a faint honey-like sweetness. Balanced by moderate bitterness, the mid-palate reveals lemon and orange esters and subtle spicy phenols. The finish is medium-dry to dry, smooth, and clean, with a lingering soft malt character and mild earthy hop flavor.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with high carbonation that creates a bubbly, mouth-filling sensation. Smooth texture with very subtle alcohol warmth, contributing to a refreshing and creamy experience.
