About this bottle

Affligem Blond is the blonde Belgian abbey beer from Affligem, a top-fermented beer. Together with the dubbel and the tripel it forms the fixed core of the range. This version is the large 75 cl bottle at 6.7% vol. The same beer is also available in 30 cl bottles, in cans and in kegs.

The brewery in the abbey itself was lost in the Second World War. Afterwards the monks sought cooperation with a lay brewery nearby, where the recipes were adapted without letting go of the recognisable character of the beers. That approach still applies: the brewers hold on to the abbey's old recipes and work with the techniques of a modern brewery.

Affligem Blond is characterised by its fine and slightly malty taste. The hop aromas hover seductively above the beer, and it is a beer that drinks easily and pleasantly. The blonde variant of Affligem has a clear golden-blond colour with a beautiful head of foam. The nose holds aromas of flowers and dried tropical fruit, such as banana, and spices. The taste is malty and sweet, with a slight bitterness. The finish is fine and fresh. This top-fermented beer is good to drink with salads and chicken, among other things.

Why this works together

Chosen by beer style (blonde), country of origin (Belgium), alcohol percentage (6.7%), the hint of sweetness in the description and the food pairing advice in our online shop for this bottle. Enough fizz to carry fat, enough fruit not to clash with a mild sauce.

Our online shop says about this bottle: “This top-fermented beer is good to drink with salads and chicken, among other things.”

Serve at 6 to 8 °C.
