La Guillotine from Brouwerij Huyghe is a strong blonde ale first brewed in 1989 to celebrate the bicentenary of the French Revolution. This golden blond, multigrain beer displays a persistent, lacing head.

The nose reveals a complex aroma profile with citrus notes followed by hop character from Saaz and Brewers Gold varieties. The palate opens with toasted, nutty flavours, developing a full body with moderate carbonation. Belgian yeast spice adds complexity, while a subtle sweetness emerges.

The finish is dry and assertive, with a lingering bitterness that lingers. Award-winning and well-balanced, this beer pairs readily with diverse foods.
