Grimbergen Blonde is a 75cl blond abbey beer with 6.7% ABV, made for sharing at a beer tasting with friends. This Belgian beer is top-fermented and continues to re-ferment in the bottle.
The aroma is dominated by ripe fruit, spices and honey. On the palate, sweet and bitter flavours are held in balance, with associations of pineapple, liquorice, pear and clove. The finish is notably persistent, carrying the beer’s layered character beyond the first sip.
Serve Grimbergen Blonde chilled at 4–6°C. Its flavour profile pairs well with chicken, pork and cheeses, alongside potatoes, onion, garlic, cabbage, artichoke, eggs, parsley, rosemary, parsnip and butternut squash. Peach and juniper also complement its fruity and spiced notes.
Brewed at the heart of Grimbergen Abbey, this blond beer draws on the abbey’s long brewing heritage. The phoenix associated with Grimbergen reflects an abbey rebuilt after fires over the centuries and brewing savoir-faire dating back to 1128.
