Moersleutel Quad

Tap to rate

Sweet red fruits, deep warming caramel and spices meet subtle floral tones in this robust, full-bodied Belgian-style quadrupel. Tango, a new-wave German hop, puts its own accent on a grist of malted barley, rye, wheat and spelt. At 11% ABV, Quad belongs to the Moersleutel core range and is brewed in Alkmaar.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and sweet on entry, with caramel and malt richness building across the palate. Red fruit character persists through the middle, joined by gentle spice and the faint wheaten texture of the grain bill. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the malty sweetness and fruit to dominate while Tango hops provide a dry, herbal undertone.
