Franc Belge

◎ Aussehen

Franc Belge presents a clear, golden-amber hue with bright transparency characteristic of the style. The head rises quickly and settles to a fine, persistent collar that leaves delicate lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting the beer's refined presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with floral and herbal notes from the Fuggles hops, accompanied by a warm, bready malt foundation. A subtle marzipan sweetness emerges in the background, adding complexity without overwhelming the primarily clean, hop-driven character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with soft, toasted biscuit character from the malt blend of Pilsner, pale ale, and Munich varieties. A mineral dryness builds through the mid-palate, underpinned by the whole flower Fuggles bitterness. The moderate 5.2% ABV keeps the body light and approachable while the 40 IBU provides a decided, lasting bite.

◑ Abgang

A long, delicate yet assertive bitter finish unfolds, with the Fuggles character persisting cleanly into the aftertaste. The unfiltered and unpasteurised nature contributes a subtle textural complexity to the dry farewell.
