Fruit Beer 6.5 º

Brouwerij Het Anker

Boscoulis presents an elegant marriage between a delicate Belgian Blonde Ale and a vibrant medley of forest fruits. The bouquet is dominated by fresh raspberries and red currants, supported by the subtle spicy phenols and fruity esters characteristic of the Het Anker house yeast. On the palate, the soft, bready sweetness of Pilsner malt provides a sturdy foundation for the tart, juicy forest fruit flavors. The finish is remarkably clean, balancing a gentle hop bitterness with a refreshing acidity that masks the 6.5% alcohol. It avoids cloying artificiality, maintaining the soul of a classic top-fermented Belgian ale with a sophisticated, fruit-forward twist.

Appearance. Deep ruby to burnished amber with a distinct pinkish tint; brilliant clarity despite the fruit additions. Topped by a dense, mousse-like pale pink head with excellent retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of mixed red berries including raspberry and strawberry. Beneath the fruit lies a soft honey-like malt sweetness and classic Belgian yeast character, offering hints of clove and light floral esters. Hop aroma is negligible, allowing the forest fruit to lead.

Taste. Initial impression is of fresh fruit juice—tart and slightly sweet—followed by a rounded, bready malt backbone. Belgian yeast adds complexity with a touch of white pepper and orchard fruit. Low hop bitterness provides just enough structure. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering berry tartness and a clean fermentation profile.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderately high, providing a lively, effervescent scrub on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is subtle and well-integrated, providing a gentle glow without harshness.
