🌍 Canada · Belgian Blonde Ale · One of 21 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ

A Belgian-style table beer that proves low alcohol needn't mean low character. Burnabarian opens with a delicate coriander spice that sits lightly on the palate—no heavy hand, just a whisper of herb and citrus zest. The silky mouthfeel carries this through to a clean, dry finish, making the beer glide rather than grip. At 4.5%, it's built for the long pour: a sunny patio companion, or the kind of thing you reach for when the day's work is done and you want something that refreshes without demanding attention. The carbonation keeps everything lively, the Belgian yeast character restrained. Serve cool and drink fresh.

Aroma

The nose leads with a refined coriander spice—herbaceous and restrained, never aggressive. Underneath sits a whisper of citrus zest and light floral notes from the Belgian yeast, creating a balanced and inviting profile that draws rather than overwhelms.

Taste

The palate opens with that distinctive coriander note, settling into a silky mouthfeel that carries the beer forward with grace. Dry and clean throughout, with hints of light honey and subtle fruitiness in the mid-palate, the beer avoids heaviness while maintaining genuine character. Bitterness remains gentle and integrated, supporting rather than dominating.
