Belgian Blonde Ale 7 º 15 IBU

De Glazen Toren

This elevated Witbier delivers a sophisticated sensory experience, leaning into its robust 7% ABV while maintaining the style’s hallmark refreshment. A foundation of unmalted wheat provides a soft, bready backdrop, punctuated by a distinctive aromatic profile of peppery coriander and zesty grapefruit. The traditional Belgian yeast contributes subtle esters that meld with a clean, herbal hop presence. It pours with a classic milky cloudiness and a dense white head, offering a creamy mouthfeel that transitions into a strikingly crisp, dry finish. It is a potent yet elegant expression of artisanal Belgian wheat beer tradition, balancing strength with drinkability.

Appearance. Pale straw color (3 SRM). Distinctly hazy to opaque with a milky, whitish-yellow shine from wheat starch and yeast. Features a dense, white, moussy head with very good retention and lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by bready maltiness and grainy wheat with hints of honey. Strong spicy-lemony coriander aromatics and a zesty grapefruit fruitiness. Low spicy-herbal hop notes provide a background layer without overshadowing the yeast and spice character.

Taste. Pleasant bready malt flavor followed by moderate zesty citrus and grapefruit-like fruitiness. Herbal-spicy notes of lemony coriander are well-integrated and balanced. Low hop bitterness supports a refreshingly crisp character. Finishes very dry and clean with no harsh or bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, light creaminess from the wheat. High carbonation creates a lively, effervescent character. Provides a refreshing finish with a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth reflecting its 7% ABV.
