Belgian Blonde Ale 6.5 º 23 IBU

Brouwerij Roman

Ename Blond is a quintessential Belgian Blond Ale, presenting a brilliant gold hue and a sophisticated balance between malt sweetness and a dry, crisp finish. The aroma is defined by grainy-sweet malt and a nuanced yeast profile featuring bright citrus orange and subtle tropical banana notes. On the palate, a soft malty attack leads into a complex layer of peppery phenols and a hint of mineral character. The secret spices provide a faint, integrated backdrop to the earthy hop bitterness, resulting in a smooth, elegant, and highly approachable abbey-style ale that remains exceptionally clean and well-balanced.

Appearance. Deep gold color (5-6 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a large, dense, and creamy white head that exhibits excellent retention and fine Belgian lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a grainy-sweet, lightly toasty malt character. Distinct fruity esters of orange and lemon are complemented by subtle tropical banana notes. Background includes light peppery phenols and a faint earthy hop aroma with a touch of minerality.

Taste. Initial impression of grainy-sweet malt and light honey-like sweetness. The flavor profile follows with orange-citrus esters and a slight spicy-peppery phenol character. Medium bitterness provides balance, leaning slightly toward the malt. It features a light earthy hop flavor and a hint of mineral complexity, finishing medium-dry and soft.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a somewhat creamy texture. High carbonation delivers a lively, bubbly sensation in the mouth. Smooth, light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
