About this bottle

Brouwerij Huyghe Floris Cactus is a Belgian fruit beer of 4.2% ABV in a 33 cl bottle. The base is an unfiltered, top-fermented wheat beer to which green lime and tequila have been added. Tequila is made from agave, which in Mexico is popularly regarded as a cactus; that is where the beer gets its name. It belongs to the Floris range of fruit beers on a wheat beer base.

Brouwerij Huyghe is located in Melle, just outside Gent in East Flanders, on the Appelhoek site. Beer has been brewed on that spot since 1654. It is one of the largest breweries in Belgium: some 4000 hectolitres of beer and 680,000 bottles roll off the line every week. From Melle the beers go to more than a hundred countries.

The dominant flavour is lime. This beer is an excellent thirst quencher in summer.
