Brouwerij De Vecht crafts this blonde ale following 18th-century recipes from the Vecht region, where beer brewing has deep historical roots. The Maerssener Gagel Blond features gagel (bog myrtle), a traditional herb that Dutch brewers relied upon for centuries before hops became standard.

At 6.5% ABV, this beer has more substance than a typical blonde ale, with gagel providing a distinctive herbal character that sets it apart from contemporary hop-forward styles. Brewed according to artisanal methods and historical inspiration, it connects to a region with continuous brewing heritage since medieval times.
