hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and honey character as Grimbergen Blonde. A golden, top-fermented abbey ale under a dense, cream-coloured head. The house yeast works at around 26 °C, which pushes the fruit and spice character forward. The nose opens on ripe pear and pineapple with honey, clove and a touch of liquorice, backed by a light floral hop note. On the palate sweetness and bitterness meet, with macerated fruit, a hint of dark rum and clove running into a long finish of spice, yeast and gentle bitterness. Barley and wheat malt form the base. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Gouverneur Blond — 99%. Same fruit notes and honey notes, with a bitter edge Grimbergen keeps quiet.
