Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor is an ambitious blonde ale from Brouwerij Het Anker in Mechelen, crafted with five hop varieties that define its character. At 8% alcohol, this unfiltered beer delivers full body and complex flavour in which fruitiness, florals and spice interplay throughout.

In the glass, a golden hue is crowned with a generous white head. The aroma reveals citrus and yeasty notes alongside honey and herbal notes. On the palate, banana and juicy citrus emerge, supported by hoppy bitterness that remains elegantly restrained. The whole is carried by assertive carbonation and a soft, creamy texture.

The finish is lightly bitter but not harsh, with pleasant lingering. This is a beer that wears its hop identity openly, yet weaves it into a well-structured whole.
