Feeks

Netherlands·Belgian Blonde Ale
Tap to rate

Herbs and spices and flowers open this top-fermented blonde, and the finish turns softly fruity. At 5.7 %, Feeks is named for a character the brewery paints as a whirlwind with blonde locks: her moods are hard to tame, yet they settle down gently in the end. Brewed by Naeckte Brouwers in Amstelveen.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and approachable, with the herbal-floral character transitioning seamlessly into a soft fruitiness on entry and mid-palate. A light, refined bitterness from noble hops (22 IBU) provides structure without dominating. The malt base is clean and delicate, allowing the adjunct flavors to take the foreground while maintaining balance throughout.

◑ Finish
