La Chouffe Blond (pack of 4) (33cl, 8%)

A Belgian blonde ale from Brasserie d'Achouffe, brewed in the Belgian Ardennes with barley, invert sugar syrup, yeast and coriander seeds. It is unfiltered and re-fermented in bottle and keg, with coriander used as a restrained accent. The aroma offers citrus peel, ripe banana, caramel sweetness, tropical mango and a subtle herbal note. The palate has crisp Pilsner malt sweetness, light citrus, spiced clove, pear, apple and a bubblegum-like quality, balanced by earthy yeast and subtle hop bitterness. The finish is silky, dry and refreshing, with spicy coriander.
