SUPER 8 Flandrien 0.0

◎ Appearance

A clear, pale golden hue characteristic of the style, with bright translucency and fine carbonation visible throughout. The head forms a modest white collar that settles quickly but leaves a thin, even lacing around the glass. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, with no haze or particulate matter.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm oak and vanilla notes, the result of the aroma recovery process that preserves the original Flandrien's complexity despite dealcoholization. Behind these woody accents lies a malty foundation with subtle grain sweetness, complemented by light stone fruit and citrus notes. The hop presence is restrained but perceptible, contributing a gentle herbal and slightly floral counterpoint.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and round, with the malt character providing a gentle sweetness and body. The mid-palate balances this with a measured bitterness—40 IBU expressed as clean and integrated rather than aggressive—alongside a faint oakiness and vanilla warmth. The finish dries gradually, revealing a hoppy bite and remaining grain notes without any sharp or metallic edges typical of some alcohol-free beers.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is refreshing and moderately long, with lingering malt grain and a subtle hoppy dryness. No alcohol heat or chemical notes intrude, leaving behind a pleasant, slightly herbal memory.
