Belgian Blonde Ale 6 º

Duvel Moortgat

Maredsous Blonde is a quintessential Belgian Blond Ale that showcases the refined craftsmanship of the Duvel Moortgat brewery. It presents a sparkling, effervescent profile built upon a foundation of soft, grainy-sweet Pilsner malt and subtle honeyed notes. The aroma is defined by a springy fruitiness—specifically zesty orange and lemon esters—accented by delicate, peppery phenols derived from the abbey yeast strain. A gentle hop presence provides a light earthy counterpoint, leading into a refreshing, slightly dry finish with a touch of noble bitterness. This classic ale balances complexity with high drinkability, offering a creamy mouthfeel and a clean, vibrant character.

Appearance. Brilliant golden color (5 SRM) with exceptional clarity. It supports a large, dense, and creamy white head that exhibits excellent retention and produces characteristic Belgian lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet malt and light honey-like sweetness. Pronounced fruity esters of orange and lemon are well-balanced by subtle peppery phenols. Faint earthy hop notes and a clean, perfumy alcohol presence add complexity without being overpowering.

Taste. The initial impression is of soft, grainy malt followed by a hint of caramelized sugar. A moderate hop bitterness provides balance against the malty start. The yeast character contributes citrusy esters and light spicy phenols throughout the palate. It finishes medium-dry to dry with a lingering, soft malt and light hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with high carbonation that creates a bubbly, sparkling sensation on the tongue. It possesses a smooth, slightly creamy texture with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the refreshing quality.
