d'n Ossekop

Muifelbrouwerij
Netherlands·Belgian Blonde Ale
Tap to rate

A sturdy Brabant blond of 7.5% that tastes soft, supple and fresh, with a pleasant bitterness at its base and a hoppy finish. D'n Ossekop is a tribute to the Schele Os Tripel of the Maaslandbrouwerij in Oss, which closed in 2010; the Muifelbrouwerij adapted the recipe so that Oss beer would keep flowing.

◐ Taste

Soft entry with a supple, well-rounded body that avoids heaviness despite the 7.5% alcohol. Malt provides a gentle sweetness in the mid-palate, gradually giving way to a building, pleasant bitterness that defines the finish. Hoppy character persists throughout, creating a refreshing and balanced drinking experience.

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