Denmark·Belgian Blonde Ale
Tap to rate

Remstrup Blonde is brewed with Styrian hops and fermented with Belgian monastery yeast, while wheat malt adds softness and complexity. It takes its name from Remstrup Å, the part of the Gudenå river that runs from Brassø to Silkeborg. Belgian monastery breweries, the brewery notes, brew a blonde for their cafés as a friendly beer.

◐ Taste

The palate is soft and smooth, led by wheat malt's delicate sweetness and a subtle interplay of banana and clove phenolics. The moderate 22 IBU bitterness arrives cleanly in the mid-palate, providing gentle structure without harshness, while fruity yeast character and a refined floral finish round out the flavor journey.
