Belgian Blond

Belgian Blond ale is a style of beer that originated in Belgium. It is a strong pale ale, ranging from 6.0 to 7.5% ABV, with subtle, restrained spicy, fruity and alcoholic flavours supported by a grainy, slightly sweet Pilsner malt character. While there might be a little upfront sweetness, good examples always finish dry and balanced.

The gentle mix of fruity esters (lemon, orange, grapefruit, pear), sometimes light phenolic spiciness (pepper, clove) and smooth, slightly warming alcohols build a complex but easy-drinking beer. These characteristic flavours and aromas come from malt and fermentation, not from the addition of fruits and spices.
