Guillaume

◎ Appearance

Guillaume presents a clear, bright golden-yellow hue that catches light with transparency. The head forms a modest white crown with delicate retention, leaving fine traces of lacing as it subsides. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft banana esters characteristic of Belgian yeast, accompanied by a subtle clove spice that adds complexity without dominance. Beneath these fermentation notes sits a clean cereal and lightly bready malt foundation with a whisper of sweetness, creating an inviting and accessible aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters lean and crisp, with the cereal-forward malt providing a delicate sweetness that never cloaks the beer's underlying dryness. Mid-palate reveals the yeast character settling into the background, while a faint lime-peel freshness cuts across the tongue with gentle citrus brightness. Bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, supporting rather than overwhelming the delicate malt structure.

◑ Finish

The finish turns dry and slightly yeasty, fading cleanly without lingering heaviness. The lime-peel character persists briefly before giving way to a clean, thirst-quenching aftertaste.

Serve at 7–10°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
