Pale Ale 6.3 º 30 IBU

Brasserie Du Bocq

Gauloise Blonde is a classic Belgian Blond Ale that presents a luminous golden-yellow hue topped by a fine, creamy white head. The sensory profile is defined by a mellow, grainy-sweet malt foundation that asserts a full-bodied character while remaining approachable. Aromatically, the beer is deliciously fragrant, showcasing a light hint of fine hops alongside subtle fruity esters reminiscent of soft orchard fruits. The palate is sparkling and bright, balancing delicate malt sweetness with a mild bitterness that leads into a soft, dry finish. Its elegant, clean fermentation profile ensures a sophisticated yet refreshing experience, making it an ideal aperitif.

Appearance. Deep gold to bright yellow (4–6 SRM). Brilliant clarity and sparkling carbonation. Large, fine-textured, creamy white head with excellent retention and Belgian lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a light grainy-sweet malt presence. Subtle yet fragrant yeast-derived esters of pear and citrus are complemented by a light, spicy, and earthy hop character. Clean fermentation with a faint hint of perfumy alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is mellow and malt-forward with grainy sweetness. Subtle fruitiness follows, balanced by a mild hop bitterness that is not aggressive. Light spicy hop flavors harmonize with citrusy esters. The finish is medium-dry to dry, smooth, and soft with a lingering clean malt aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a creamy texture. High carbonation provides a sparkling, mouth-filling sensation. Smooth, light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. No harsh astringency.
