AFFLIGEM BLONDE ~ AFFLIGEM BROUWERIJ

Affligem Blonde is Belgian Abbey ale. Sampled on draught the beer poured a slightly hazy golden yellow colour with a dense head. Sticky lacing was left as the head slowly disappeared. The nose was made up with banana spice, fresh bread, citrus and other tree fruits. The taste was smooth and mild with notes of bread, spice, sweet malts, citrus, and other fruits. A mild slightly drying earthy hop bitterness compliments the sweetness of the malts. The beer had a slightly creamy texture with sparkling carbonation. Easy to drink and refreshing – just be careful the alcohol content is well hidden.
