◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced fruity esters—stone fruit and subtle orchard notes—layered with the refined character of noble hops: herbal Saaz, floral Hallertau Mittelfrüh, and bright Amarillo. Underneath runs a soft, yeasty undertone that complements rather than dominates, creating a well-integrated aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is creamy and smooth, with fruity sweetness and a gentle malt backbone providing structure. The mid-palate balances a moderate, well-mannered bitterness—from the four-hop blend—against residual fruit character and a hint of spicy, bready complexity. The finish shows grip without harshness.

◑ Finish

Serve at 9–12°C

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.
