Tap to rate

An alcohol-free light golden ale with a soft fruitiness, backed by a subtle bitterness. At 0.0 % ABV, brewed from barley malt, glucose syrup, sugar, hops and hop extract with natural flavours, it carries the Belgian abbey style of Affligem, a name that goes back to 1074, into the glass without the alcohol.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 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.

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