How to get the most out of Nivard
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.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
