🌍 Belgium · Belgian Pale Ale · One of 6 Belgian Pale Ales in hopIQ

De la Senne's most expressive beer and one of Belgium's finest session ales. Hugely effervescent with a thick meringue head, Taras Boulba delivers a bright lemon character stiffened by minerality and a dry, herbal finish closer to cocktail bitters than typical hops. Inspired by English cask ales, it redefined what low-alcohol Belgian beer could be.
