About

Houppe is a blonde strong ale from Brasserie L'Échasse (now Brasserie Artisanale de Namur) in Namur, Belgium. This robust beer displays a copper-tinged golden hue and offers fresh hop aromatics with citrus notes and subtle fruity character. A fine, balanced bitterness underpins the solid body without dominating the palate. The hazy, orange-gold pour develops a creamy white head with crisp carbonation. On the nose, grapefruit, floral notes and Belgian yeast character emerge naturally. The flavour brings together light malt sweetness, fresh fruitiness and hop presence, finishing dry with a gentle, lingering bitterness that invites another sip.
