This award winning all-rounder was brewed as a tribute to the flax industry that brought wealth and prosperity to Flanders. It was a nice compliment to hear that enthusiast are calling it “West Flanders history in a bottle” Although this top fermented ale with refermentation in the bottle is referred to as a “strong Belgian blond”, you’ll discover a lightly sour-sweet yeasty fruit on a par with mildly sweet pale malts and a refreshing flow of really fragrant, springy flower blossoms, orangey-citric fruity hops with a mildly mineral, chewy bitterness The finishing undertone is a tad zesty or slightly tangy to render a intriguing contrast with the smooth flowery aftertaste, light on the carbonation, just sufficient to render a refreshing palate, against a medium body and moderate flavor profile. For the connoisseur who appreciates a more complex flavor; you can swing the bottle a bit so that the yeast comes into the glass, giving it an extra special taste.
