United States·Belgian Strong Golden Ale
Tap to rate

Everything Nice is spicy, with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and white pepper. The wintry, warming blonde ale follows the Belgian style and reaches 9.0% ABV at 27 IBU. Two-row barley and caramel malt form the base, and Citra is the single hop. It debuted as a fall release and is meant to sit next to holiday treats.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a full spice experience consistent with the aroma, with clove and white pepper providing sustained warmth across the mid-palate. Caramel malt sweetness balances the spice and contributes a subtle nutty character. Bitterness remains restrained at 27 IBU, allowing the Citra hop's citrus notes to integrate smoothly without sharp edges. The texture is medium-bodied and slightly dry on the finish.

Warmer than most — 12–14°C. The fruity esters, spice and warming alcohol need room to breathe.

Goblet

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
