Belgian Strong Ale 8.5 º 34 IBU

Brasserie des Légendes - Brasserie des Géants

Quintine Ambrée presents a robust interpretation of the Belgian Golden Strong Ale style, trading typical pale hues for a deep amber glow derived from long-roasted caramelized malt. The sensory profile is defined by a sophisticated tension between rich, toasty malt depth and a sharp, peppery phenolic character. High attenuation ensures a dry, effervescent finish that highlights a firm hop bitterness and herbal accents. Subtle pear-like esters mingle with the warmth of its 8.5% alcohol, creating a complex, warming bouquet. Despite the darker grain bill, the mouthfeel remains remarkably lively and crisp, staying true to the highly attenuated traditions of its style.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper (10–14 SRM); brilliant clarity with a massive, long-lasting, creamy off-white head leaving dense lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring a complex blend of spicy, peppery phenols and fruity esters reminiscent of ripe pear; supported by a distinctive toasted malt and light caramel character with herbal hop notes.

Taste. Initial impression of toasted, caramelized malt quickly yields to a dry, peppery middle; herbal hop flavors are prominent and supported by a medium-high bitterness that lingers into a clean, highly attenuated finish and aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with very high, effervescent carbonation that lightens the palate; smooth but noticeable alcohol warmth; lacks any astringency or harshness.
