Beers similar to Grimbergen Cuvée Réserve Blonde

Belgian Strong Golden Ale·Belgium·7.8% ABV·One of 55 Belgian Strong Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Grimbergen Cuvée Réserve Blonde's spicy character. A strong golden abbey ale of 7.8 per cent from the Cuvée Réserve range, brilliant gold with ochre glints and a dense, lasting white head. The nose is very intense, led by ripe pineapple and pear, with spice and hop notes adding depth. On the palate flambéed pineapple with a rum edge dominates, joined by clove and hops, sweetness and bitterness in balance. The body is dense and soft with fine carbonation and gentle warmth; spice, fruit, liquorice and light bitterness linger.
