🌍 Belgium · Belgian Blonde Ale · One of 8 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ

Gruut's core flagship — a smooth, unfiltered blonde brewed without any hops. The medieval herb blend creates a gentle bitter finish with citrusy, slightly sweet character. Deceptively drinkable and endlessly surprising for first-time tasters who expect hops and find something entirely different.
