Beers similar to Cadet Blond

Brouwerij Verhaeghe Vichte

Belgian Blonde Ale·Belgium·5.5% ABV·One of 114 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Cadet Blond's fruity and malty character. Cadet Blond is a top-fermented, bottle-conditioned Belgian blond ale, presented as the lighter, everyday counterpart to Barbe d'Or. It pours a clear golden colour under a fine, stable head. The nose brings a light Belgian yeast fruitiness of pear and apple, with a whisper of clove, over a bready malt base. The palate is medium-bodied and dry, with soft grain and a herbal hop touch, and the finish is clean, gently spicy and easy-drinking.
