About

Achel Blond Extra is a strong blonde ale from De Achelse Kluis, one of Belgium's six official Trappist breweries located in Hamont-Achel. Brewed using traditional methods with spring water, barley malt, hop cones and yeast, this beer showcases careful craftsmanship. The nose presents a pleasant blend of floral and hoppy character with subtle fruity undertones. The palate is deeper and more substantial than the style might suggest, with a fine interplay between hop bitterness and malt sweetness. Despite its 9.5% alcohol content, the beer drinks remarkably smoothly without harshness or booziness. A complex ale that demonstrates how true flavour depth comes from passion and precision rather than excess.
