Belgian Blonde Ale 6.1 º

Brouwerij van Viven

Viven Blond is a quintessential Belgian Blond Ale that captures a summer essence. It presents an inviting aromatic profile of sun-dried hay and fresh green apples, layered over a foundation of honeyed malt. As the beer opens, complex notes of peach and passion fruit emerge, driven by an expressive yeast character. The palate is a harmonious interplay between grainy-sweet malt and a delicate spiciness, finished with a subtle buttery smoothness. This medium-bodied ale offers a refreshing, thirst-quenching character that balances fruity vibrancy with a lingering, soft malty presence, making it a versatile companion for light fare and salads.

Appearance. Hazy, deep gold color (approx. 5-6 SRM). Topped by a persistent, large, and creamy white head with excellent retention and Belgian lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet malt with honey and hay-like nuances. Esters are prominent, showcasing green apple, peach, and tropical passion fruit. Low spicy-peppery phenols and a hint of earthy hop character in the background.

Taste. Initial impression of soft, grainy-sweet malt followed by a wave of stone fruit and passion fruit. Medium bitterness provides balance against the malt. Subtle spicy yeast character and honey-like sweetness leads to a smooth, medium-dry finish with a lingering, clean aftertaste of fruit and light spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with high carbonation providing a lively, bubbly sensation. Features a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and a slightly creamy, smooth texture.
