Belgian Strong Ale 8.2 º 34 IBU

Leidsch Bier

This celebratory Belgian Golden Strong Ale marks twenty years with a sophisticated, spice-forward profile. Brewed as a blonde oat beer, it presents a complex marriage of traditional pome fruit esters—notably pear—and the distinctive botanical influence of jenever. The addition of cardamom introduces a fresh, citrusy-herbal snap that complements the peppery yeast character. While the oats provide a subtle silken texture, the beer remains exceptionally dry and highly carbonated, as expected of the style. Subtle herbal hop notes and a gentle alcohol warmth weave through the finish, creating a multi-layered, effervescent experience that honors its Dutch heritage.

Appearance. Pale yellow to gold with brilliant clarity; features a massive, long-lasting, rocky white head that leaves characteristic Belgian lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity bouquet of pear and apple esters alongside fresh cardamom and a botanical, gin-like jenever quality. Low herbal hop notes and a peppery, perfumy alcohol presence over a neutral, slightly grainy malt base.

Taste. Initial flavors of crisp pear and herbal cardamom are followed by a distinct botanical twist. The finish is remarkably dry and long, with moderate bitterness and a peppery alcohol character that lingers pleasantly alongside the spicy yeast phenols.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with an effervescent, sparkling carbonation. A smooth, creamy texture from the oats is balanced by a drying finish and a noticeable, warming alcohol presence.
