hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and caramel character as Grimbergen Cuvée 8.5. A copper-coloured abbey ale of 8.5 per cent under a dense, generous white head. Ripe yellow fruit and pineapple lead the nose, joined by the house yeast's spice. On the palate the beer is full of flavour, with sweetness and bitterness in balance and a hint of acidity; caramel, malt and a note of dark rum give it depth. The finish lingers on fruit, caramel and spice. Barley and wheat malt form the base. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
