Belgian Blonde Ale·Netherlands·6.5% ABV·One of 74 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Martinus Blond's bitter and fruity character. Light bitterness runs through this Belgian blonde, and the Saaz hop shows itself in the very first sniff. At 6.5 % it comes out of a former print shop on Groningen's Kostersgang, a stone's throw from the Grote Markt, where the kettles now stand in place of the printing press and son Martijn does the brewing.
