Brouwerij Maallust Vreemdeling #9 Groene Hop Sterk Blond
This Belgian Golden Strong Ale offers a sophisticated sensory experience, characterized by its brilliant effervescence and a massive, rocky white head. The aroma is a complex bouquet of pome fruit—notably pear—and peppery phenols, complemented by the herbal and slightly floral signature of fresh Veenhuizer Willamette hops. On the palate, a soft pilsner malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by a crisp, dry finish and moderate bitterness. The high carbonation lifts the herbal hop notes and fruity esters, while the 8% ABV provides a smooth, integrated warmth that underscores its Flemish inspiration without feeling heavy or syrupy on the tongue.
Appearance. Deep gold (5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features an effervescent pour that supports a massive, long-lasting, rocky white head with exceptional Belgian lacing.
Aroma. High intensity fruity esters of pear and apple. Moderate herbal and floral hop notes from the fresh Willamette hops mingle with a peppery, perfumy alcohol presence. Low grainy-sweet malt provides a neutral foundation.
Taste. Initial pear-like esters and spicy, peppery phenols lead the palate. The herbal Willamette hop flavor is distinct and fresh, supported by a medium-high bitterness that lingers into a very dry, clean finish. Malt character is soft and subtly grainy.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation that creates a sparkling sensation. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or solvent notes.
