Wispe Brouwerij Hartenlust
Belgian Blonde Ale 5.6 º
This Belgian Blond Ale presents a refined balance of traditional yeast character and fresh local influence. A grainy-sweet malt foundation, reminiscent of Pilsner malt and honey, supports a delicate layer of spicy-peppery phenols and citrusy esters of orange and lemon. The use of locally grown hops provides a distinctive, fresh earthy quality that integrates seamlessly with the yeast-driven spice. Despite its sessionable 5.6% ABV, it retains a smooth, creamy texture and a bubbly mouthfeel, concluding with a soft, medium-dry finish that emphasizes its clean, lager-like approachability and vibrant fermentation profile.
Appearance. Deep gold color. Brilliant clarity. Large, dense, creamy white head with excellent retention and significant Belgian lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet and slightly toasty malt notes. Prominent yeast-derived esters of lemon and orange zest are complemented by subtle peppery phenols. A light, fresh earthy aroma from the locally grown hops provides a grounded back-note.
Taste. Initial impression of grainy-sweet malt with a faint honey-like sweetness. Moderate yeast profile follows, offering orange esters and light spicy-peppery phenols. Bitterness is medium and well-balanced, allowing the malt to remain visible. Complemented by earthy hop flavors, it finishes medium-dry and smooth.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with high carbonation providing a lively, mouth-filling bubbly sensation. Soft and creamy texture with very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no astringency.
