Gleuvenglijder

Tap to rate

Orange aroma over a lightly malty, full-bodied blond in Belgian style, with Citra hop in the mix, 5.5%. Gleuvenglijder is a no-nonsense blond brewed especially for the Foodhallen in Amsterdam-West's old tram depot, and the name casts a tram driver whose line ends right there. Fall in and drink up.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, rounded body that carries orange and light honey notes through the mid-palate, while the Citra hops deliver subtle citrus bite without sharp bitterness. A gentle, integrated bitterness emerges on the finish, clean and refreshing rather than astringent, allowing the malt sweetness to remain present.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length, dry and crisp without losing its smooth character. A lingering citrus note and faint honey sweetness fade into a clean, thirst-quenching aftertaste.

Goblet

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