Brewed in Rotterdam's fully restored 100-year-old fruit warehouse, Stadshaven's Octopus Blond combines Pilsner malt with German and Czech hops. A malty foundation gives way to subtle bitterness, then opens into juicy kiwi berry and blood orange notes that define the beer's character.

At 6% ABV and a modest 12 IBU, this blonde prioritizes fruit expression over hop bite. It's an approachable everyday beer with enough structure to stand alone, yet refreshing enough to pair with lighter dishes.
