Belgian Blonde Ale 6 º 24 IBU

Brouwerij Vuurtje

This Belgian Blond Ale showcases a sophisticated interplay between traditional abbey-style yeast and bright hop character. The sensory foundation is built upon specialized biscuit malt and honey-like sweetness, providing a smooth and comforting palate. Vibrant citrus notes from the addition of orange peel harmonize with the floral and grapefruit-tinged aromatics of Cascade hops, while Magnum hops provide a clean, structural bitterness. The fermentation profile offers subtle spicy-peppery phenols and fruity esters. It concludes with a fresh, fruity finish that remains crisp and dry, beautifully embodying a classic golden profile with a distinctively modern citrus twist.

Appearance. Deep gold color (SRM 6). It features a large, dense, and creamy white head with excellent retention and significant Belgian lacing. The clarity is brilliant with high transparency.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet biscuit malt and a light honey-like sweetness. The hop character is citrusy and floral with grapefruit notes, complemented by orange peel and yeast-derived fruity esters of lemon and orange. Subtle spicy-peppery phenols are present in the background.

Taste. The initial impression is grainy-sweet malt with biscuit and honey flavors. A medium bitterness develops quickly, balanced by the malt. Hop flavors are citrus-forward with orange and light grapefruit notes. The yeast character provides light spicy phenols. The finish is medium-dry and smooth, with a soft aftertaste of fruity hops and sweet malt.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a somewhat creamy texture. The carbonation is medium-high to high, providing a bubbly, mouth-filling sensation. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated, without any astringency.
