Simon Régal

◎ Appearance

Simon Régal presents a luminous pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with delicate lacing. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a lively yet controlled effervescence that speaks to careful conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced fruity esters—ripe banana and stone fruit—layered with subtle spice notes of clove and a whisper of herbal complexity. Beneath these elements lie soft, honey-like sweetness and the gentle warmth of Belgian yeast character, with no harsh alcohol vapors despite the 6.5% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate is soft and round, with an initial sweetness of honey and light Malz character that evolves into spicy yeast-derived flavors mid-palate. The bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the fruity and creamy dimensions to dominate while maintaining balance and clarity of flavor.

◑ Finish

The finish is warming and moderately long, with residual fruitiness fading into a subtle spice and a clean, slightly dry aftertaste. The gentle alcohol warmth lingers pleasantly without harshness, inviting another sip.

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.
