Belgian Blonde Ale·Belgium·5.5% ABV·One of 102 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Val-Dieu Hop's hoppy and bitter character. Dry hopping gives a distinctly hoppy nose with a hint of citrus; on the palate come floral hops and malt under a straightforward bitterness. Clear blond and 5.5 % strong, it was created for the abbey's 800th anniversary, dry-hopped with hop flowers and refermented in the bottle, in the Val-Dieu abbey with water from the Gileppe dam.
