Keizer Karel Charles Quint Blond is a strong blonde ale from Brouwerij Haacht, named after Emperor Charles V who was born in Ghent. This top-fermented beer blends vibrant citrus aromas with floral character in a well-balanced expression.

The glass reveals a pale golden hue beneath a substantial white head. The nose shows pronounced citrus and hop spice alongside fruity esters. On the palate, fruity notes gradually give way to a dry, bitter finish with pleasant hop bitterness.

At 8% alcohol, this is a robust beer with genuine presence. The interplay of solid malt body, hop bitterness and classic Belgian yeast character makes it approachable yet characterful.
