Beers similar to Val-Dieu Blonde

Belgian Pale Ale·Belgium·6% ABV·One of 44 Belgian Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Val-Dieu Blonde's caramel and malty character. Yeast, caramel, malt and spice open the nose; on the palate come malt, caramel, spice, fruit and yeast again, biscuity, with a gentle sweetness up front and a subtle bitterness behind it. Cloudy yellow under a white head. This 6 % abbey ale is brewed inside the Val-Dieu abbey with water from the Gileppe dam and matures through a second fermentation in the bottle.
