Ename Blond

◎ Appearance

Pale golden color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is lively and visible, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles that sustains the foam structure throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—particularly orange zest—layered over distinct banana esters typical of Belgian yeast character. Sweet malt notes provide a clean, grainy foundation that balances the fruity impressions without overwhelming the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean citrus bite that quickly integrates with the malt backbone, creating a harmonious mid-palate where neither element dominates. A firm, restrained hop presence adds definition and a subtle mineral quality, leading into a dry, slightly bitter finish that remains crisp and refreshing.

◑ Finish

A long, dry finish with a gentle bitterness that lingers pleasantly without harshness, leaving a clean palate and inviting another sip.

Serve at 7–10°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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