Tilburg-based Pinterman crafts Gouden Collega as an approachable blonde ale defined by its crisp character and restrained bitterness. At 5.7% ABV, it is a sociable beer made for sunny occasions, where fruity notes of orange and coriander come through clearly.

The palate is clean and friendly, without aggressive hop bite. This makes it a versatile choice—equally at home on its own or alongside light food.
