Affligem Légère

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting sheen. The white head forms readily and maintains steady lacing down the glass, with fine carbonation rising in steady streams. The visual presentation conveys lightness and cleanliness typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate fruity esters—subtle stone fruit and a whisper of orchard notes—layered beneath soft, honeyed malt tones. Herbal hop character provides gentle definition without aggression, while the Belgian yeast contributes a clean, barely perceptible spice. The overall impression is one of restraint and balance.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and approachable, with light malt sweetness and a gentle fruity character that unfolds across the mid-palate. Crisp acidity and a measured hop bitterness (22 IBU) arrive without harshness, cutting cleanly through the residual sweetness from glucose and cane sugar. The finish remains dry and refreshing, with no cloying aftertaste.

◑ Abgang

A short to medium finish with clean, lingering dryness and a light honeyed echo. The aftertaste remains crisp and uncluttered, inviting another sip.
