Stroom Boulet presents a refined interpretation of a Belgian Blond Ale, balancing traditional yeast complexity with a vibrant infusion of lemon peel. The sensory experience begins with a delicate bouquet of honeyed Pilsner malt and soft peppery phenols, accented by a bright, citrusy lift. On the palate, a smooth grainy-sweetness provides a solid foundation for subtle earthy hop notes and a clean, refreshing bitterness. The addition of lemon peel heightens the ester profile without overwhelming the classic abbey-style yeast character. It finishes remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering trail of crackery malt and citrus zest.
