À propos

Affligem Patersvat is a blonde abbey ale brewed once a year by Bierbrouwerij Affligem in Opwijk, Belgium. At 6.8% ABV, this beer strikes a balance between malty depth and refined hop bitterness. The brewery employs fresh hop flowers and European hop varieties alongside summer barley malt and house yeast. In the glass, it presents as a clear golden beer topped with a generous white head. The aroma reveals fruity character with grassy hop notes. On the palate, sweet malty flavours blend with fruit esters and a gentle bitterness, while the mouthfeel is lightly sticky yet dry from crisp carbonation. Patersvat carries forward nearly a thousand years of brewing heritage at Affligem, tracing its roots to the abbey's founding in 1074.
