Belhamel

Tap to rate

Melon and peach lead, mango follows, and the creamy body ends in a soft bitter finish. Belhamel is the New England IPA of Amsterdam's De Eeuwige Jeugd, hazy and fruit-forward at 6.5% and 40 IBU, cast as a mischievous rascal and ringleader of pranks. Don't be fooled by all that fruit: it is a little bitter too.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Belhamel

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, hazy veil from suspended yeast and proteins. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Moderate carbonation creates a gentle, persistent fizz.

◌ Aroma

Bright stone fruit character leads with distinct melon and peach notes, followed by ripe mango and subtle tropical undertones. Noble hops contribute a clean, herbaceous backdrop without dominating the bouquet. The overall impression is fruit-forward and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft fruit sweetness—peach and melon—that evolves toward mango in the mid-palate. A creamy, full-bodied texture carries the flavors smoothly across the tongue. Bitterness emerges in the back, restrained at 40 IBU but present enough to balance the fruit.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering fruit notes fading into a soft, herbal bitter edge. Refreshing and quick to clear, leaving a pleasant residual warmth.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
