St-Feuillien Grand Cru

◎ Aussehen

Pours a very pale, brilliant blond with excellent clarity. The head is fine and airy, leaving delicate lace on the glass as it recedes. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, supporting a persistent, refined presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes of lemon zest and white grape, followed by subtle stone fruit impressions of pear. A gentle herbal quality from Styrian Golding hop flowers provides earthiness, while honeyed malt adds a soft, delicate sweetness beneath.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is light and clean, allowing the palate to settle before a measured bitterness builds steadily through the mid-palate. Noble hops assert themselves with a refined character, while flavors of white pepper, fresh hay, and honeyed malt create nuanced depth. The alcohol at 9.5% remains well-masked.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and composed, dominated by noble hop character and a gentle white pepper warmth. A dry, clean aftertaste lingers with faint hay notes and restrained bitterness.

Wärmer als die meisten — 12–14°C. Die fruchtigen Ester, Gewürze und der wärmende Alkohol brauchen Raum zur Entfaltung.

Das breite Mundstück und der schwere Fuß fördern die Schaumbildung und leiten reiche Aromatik zur Nase. Traditionell für belgische Starkbiere.
