Gruut Blond

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright, crystalline clarity and an unfiltered character that catches light cleanly. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate and even, creating a gentle, sustained stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft herbal complexity—dried citrus peel, gentle sage, and subtle spice notes emerge before any sweetness. Medieval herb blend dominates over malt, creating an aromatic profile that feels distinctly old-world and botanical rather than conventionally hoppy. Delicate white pepper and faint grain undertones provide grounding depth.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and clean, with gentle herbal bitterness and a balanced sweetness that sits just off-center. Mid-palate reveals layered complexity: subtle wheat character, light citrus notes, and a dry herbal finish that builds without aggression. The herb blend delivers a refined, almost medicinal bitterness that lingers pleasantly rather than dominates.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a dry, herbal aftertaste that fades gracefully. The mouth remains clean and slightly refreshed, with no harsh edges or cloying residue.
