Blonde
A beer inspired by Belgian abbey tradition, brewed from pale malt, spices, hops, water and yeast. The complex flavour emerges through contributions of coriander, juniper and pepper from the Belgian yeast strain, which brings distinctive esters into play. The pour shows abundant carbonation—visibly lively and effervescent—though the beer itself lacks the clarity of a pilsner; ultrafine particles from yeast and malt remain suspended, softening the appearance. Serve chilled between 7 and 9 degrees Celsius. The bright carbonation and spiced character make this an aperitif-ready beer for the early evening or as a welcoming drink in its own right.
