Lellebel

Tap to rate

Citrus, passion fruit and flowers lift the nose and carry into the finish, with a soft bitterness and a hint of wheat malt underneath. Lellebel is the blond of Amsterdam's De Eeuwige Jeugd, cast as a Mokum party animal who stays young forever, since eternal youth sits on the inside. At 5.7% it stays fresh and easy to drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit—layered with exotic passion fruit undertones and delicate floral aromatics that suggest a light touch of herbal hops. Beneath these bright top notes sits a subtle wheat malt foundation that grounds the composition without asserting itself.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a clean entry with the citrus and tropical fruit notes promising in the aroma following through, while a whisper of wheat malt adds body and roundness. A gentle, measured bitterness emerges mid-palate—restrained at 15 IBUs—creating a soft counterpoint that never overwhelms the refreshing fruit character. The overall impression is smooth and easy-drinking, with excellent balance between sweetness and bite.
