Noordt Blondt

Tap to rate

Lightly floral and subtly spicy, with a soft bitterness. This 6% blonde is brewed with American hops and comes out less sweet than a classic Belgian blonde. Noordt makes it in Rotterdam, where the brewery ran its first fully Rotterdam-brewed beer from the tanks of a former fire station in September 2015.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and smooth, with the American hop character unfolding as a light bitterness rather than assertive bite. Mid-palate balances malty sweetness with crisp hop presence and gentle spice, maintaining a dry profile throughout. The 15 IBU integration is refined, supporting the hop expression without harshness.
