Affligem Blond

◎ Appearance

Brilliant golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. Moderate carbonation produces a gentle effervescence that sustains the delicate foam collar throughout the tasting. The colour reflects the pale malts and glucose syrup used in the brew.

◌ Aroma

Inviting nose of ripe stone fruit and subtle honey notes layered beneath a soft floral hop character. The Belgian house yeast contributes gentle fruity esters without aggressive funkiness, while restrained spice notes emerge in the background. Underlying sweetness from glucose syrup adds roundness without cloying.

◐ Taste

Crisp entry with immediate fruitiness balanced by mild, clean bitterness that remains in check at 22 IBU. Mid-palate delivers soft malt sweetness and spicy yeast character with smooth texture and light body. Bitterness develops gradually on the tongue without harsh edges, allowing fruit and honey nuances to persist.

◑ Finish

Clean, dry finish with lingering fruitiness and a whisper of honey that fades gracefully. Aftertaste remains refreshing without astringency, leaving the palate dry and ready for another sip.
