🌍 France · Belgian Blonde Ale · One of 12 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ

La Brasserie du Mont Salève ferments this blond ale with wine yeasts — indigenous, funky, alive — then ages it in oak barrels. The result is neither quite beer nor quite wine: honey and vanilla from the wood, floral and herbal notes from the yeast, a smooth full body that feels richer than 7.5% should allow. A genuinely Alpine adventure.
