About

St. Idesbald Blond is a Belgian blonde ale from Brouwerij Huyghe, brewed in the tradition of the Cistercian Ten Duinen Abbey. Made with barley malt, coriander, and Hallertau Brewer Gold hops, this beer undergoes bottle refermentation for added complexity. The nose reveals a delicate balance of light malt with fruity and citrus notes, complemented by subtle juniper and coriander character. On the palate, it drinks fresher and fuller than expected, with pleasant fruity esters and a clean, spicy bitterness that carries through to the finish. At 6.5% ABV, this blonde ale strikes a balance between approachability and character, making it equally suited to casual drinking or pairing with lighter dishes.
