When the first regular breweries were founded in the Middle Ages, beer filtration was not a common technology and few mastered it. Among these few were the Fathers of Grimbergen Abbey, who became renowned experts in craft brewing. Their masterpiece was the filtrated Grimbergen Blonde - a smooth, Blonde ale with ripe yellow fruit flavours, a spicy note of clove and a dense, cream-coloured foam - that stood out from other beers of the time. Today, it's still an insider tip among beer connoisseurs around the world.
Grimbergen Blonde is dominated by ripe fruits, spices and honey in the nose blending with sweet and bitter flavours in the body. Associations to pineapple, liquorice, pear and clove immediately come to mind. Perfectly balanced, extremely persistent and exceptionally complex.
