Belgian Blonde Ale 4.8 º 27 IBU

LePlan-Vermeersch

This Belgian Single presents a refreshing and lively profile led by a delicate interplay of Pilsner malt and expressive fermentation. Aromas are clean and bright, highlighting nuances of yellow stone fruit and a soft, bready malt backdrop. On the palate, a playful sweetness yields quickly to a crisp, bone-dry finish. Moderate bitterness is complemented by a subtle grapefruit zest character and floral hop notes, while the Belgian yeast provides a sophisticated spicy-phenolic edge. Effervescent and light-bodied, it balances the grainy sweetness of the grain with a sharp, hoppy snap, embodying the quintessential monastic table beer tradition with modern vibrancy.

Appearance. Medium gold color (approximately 4 SRM). Features a full, billowy white head with excellent retention and characteristic lacing. Brilliant clarity with gentle, visible effervescence.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a fresh, pure profile. Highlights of yellow stone fruit esters, specifically apricot and pear, are layered over a grainy-sweet, bready Pilsner malt base. Low floral hop character with a faint hint of spicy white pepper phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is a light, playful sweetness featuring honeyed cracker malt nuances. This quickly transitions into a dry, crisp finish. Moderate spicy and floral hop flavors are present, alongside a refreshing hint of grapefruit zest. Bitterness is medium-high and well-balanced by the high attenuation, with light fruity esters lingering in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth yet prickly texture due to high carbonation. No noticeable alcohol warmth, consistent with its sessionable strength. Highly refreshing and clean.
