hopIQ found 10 beers that share James Blond's malty and bitter character. Malt aromas lead James Blond toward a light bitter finish. This Belgian-style blonde is friendly and soft in the mouth. It comes from a newer recipe built on the brewery's Rhakker, and it kept its catchy name because festival visitors reacted so warmly to it. Brewed in Rha in the Achterhoek, close to the river IJssel and three kilometres from the small town of Bronkhorst.
