Eeuwige Jeugd

Netherlands·Belgian Blonde Ale
Tap to rate

A light blond in the classic Belgian style: a light caramel taste, soft hop aromas from European hops and a fresh, easy-going character. Well hopped but low in alcohol at 5.5% ABV, it is a beer you keep drinking. Brewed in the cellars of the Commanderie in Nijmegen with the brewery's own house yeast.
