Very crisp and substantial.
A heavy frame with a sharp finish — a rare combination that stays pointed on the tongue.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ch'Ti Grand Cru
◎ Appearance
Brilliant golden hue with excellent clarity and a luminous quality in the glass. A dense, cream-coloured head forms readily and clings persistently to the walls, leaving fine lacework as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a continuous stream of fine bubbles.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with ripe stone fruit and citrus esters characteristic of Belgian yeast, complemented by delicate floral and herbal notes from noble hop varieties. A gentle warmth of alcohol emerges beneath, while soft honey and a subtle spicy character round out the aromatic profile without dominating.
◐ Taste
The palate is full and rounded, with a smooth malt foundation that carries notes of honey and subtle spice through the mid-palate. Restrained bitterness from Edelhopfen remains balanced and refined, allowing the fruity yeast character to shine without harshness. The alcohol warmth is well-integrated, adding richness without obvious heat.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and elegant, with the alcohol warmth lingering gently and fading into a clean, slightly mineral aftertaste. Residual fruitiness echoes softly, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Ch'Ti Grand Cru
Warmer than most — 12–14°C. The fruity esters, spice and warming alcohol need room to breathe.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
