Affligem Blond 0.0

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A delicate white head forms readily and maintains modest retention with fine Schaumhaftung down the glass. The carbonation is visibly active, lending a lively presence to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft stone fruit and subtle floral notes characteristic of Belgian ale yeast. A gentle bready undertone from the barley malt base emerges, supported by restrained noble hop character that adds a whisper of herbal refinement without aggression.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshingly light, with a delicate sweetness from glucose and sugar that balances gracefully with a dry mid-palate. The bitterness unfolds gradually—measured at 25 IBU—providing structure without harshness, while a spicy yeast-derived warmth adds complexity. Finish remains smooth and uncluttered.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is brief and clean, fading to a subtle dryness with lingering spice notes. No warming alcohol sensation intrudes; the conclusion is crisp and refreshing.
