🌍 Italy · American Blonde Ale · One of 15 American Blonde Ales in hopIQ

The 'North' of Gjulia's wind-rose compass series — a light, unfiltered farm blonde brewed with estate-grown barley and spring water from Monte Mia in the Natisone valley. Pale golden and gently effervescent with a subtle grain sweetness, a touch of floral hop character and a clean, refreshing finish. Gjulia Nord is the everyday expression of the Altùris estate's farm brewing philosophy.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gjulia Nord - Bionda

Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, luminous quality characteristic of the style. The unfiltered nature lends a gentle haze that catches light, while fine carbonation produces a delicate, persistent head with refined lacing that clings to the glass in thin strands.

Aroma

The nose opens with a clean grain sweetness anchored by estate Malz character, complemented by subtle floral and herbal hop notes that suggest careful restraint in bittering additions. Mineral notes emerge from the Monte Mia spring water, adding a flinty dimension without dominating the profile.

Taste

The palate enters crisp and light, with a well-balanced malty foundation that avoids heaviness despite the 4.8% ABV. Low bitterness—true to the 20 IBU specification—allows the delicate grain character to remain the focal point, while a gentle mineral dryness supports clean, food-friendly drinkability.

Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, fading quickly without astringency or lingering sweetness. A dry, mineral-tinged aftertaste reinforces the farmhouse heritage and encourages immediate return to the glass.
