Belgian Blonde Ale 7 º 25 IBU

Vollenbak

This Belgian Blond Ale presents a harmonious balance of refined malt sweetness and expressive yeast character. At 7% ABV, it opens with a delicate bouquet of citrusy orange and lemon esters, underscored by a subtle, peppery phenol spice. The use of traditional Belgian Pils malt provides a foundational grainy-sweet, crackery profile with faint hints of honey-like sweetness. Effervescent and smooth, the palate transitions from initial malty softness to a clean, medium-dry finish. A light earthy hop presence complements the fermentation profile, resulting in a sophisticated, well-structured ale that emphasizes bright fruitiness and high drinkability.

Appearance. Deep gold color (5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a large, dense, and creamy white head that exhibits excellent retention and fine Belgian lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet and slightly toasty malt notes. The yeast-driven profile is prominent, offering fruity-citrusy esters of orange peel and lemon, coupled with background spicy-peppery phenols and a light, perfumy alcohol note.

Taste. Initial impression of grainy-sweet malt followed by a touch of honey-like sweetness. Bitterness is medium and well-integrated. The fermentation character brings moderate lemon and orange esters with a slight peppery finish. Clean and smooth aftertaste with a lingering dry, malty softness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with high, bubbly carbonation that provides a mouth-filling sensation. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present at 7% ABV. The texture is somewhat creamy yet remains refreshing.
