About

Hommel Dry Hopped from Leroy Breweries is a 7.5% ABV blonde ale rooted in Poperinge's hop-growing heritage. The name itself—'hommel' means hop in the local dialect—reflects the brewery's commitment since 1981 to celebrating this agricultural tradition. Dry hopping with local varieties brings a distinctive green, spicy-floral character unique to Poperingse hops. The aroma shows sweet pale malt and light fruit notes. On the palate, hoppy bitterness emerges alongside floral and grassy undertones, balanced by the malt base. The finish is clean and dry, with subtle stone fruit and a moderate hop bitterness that feels inviting rather than aggressive.
