Eggens Zwaar Blond 33cl

Eggens Zwaar Blond is a beer that combines the richness and complexity of traditional Belgian blonde beers with Eggens Brewery's innovative approach. This heavy blonde beer is a step heavier than the regular blonde beer and offers a more intense taste experience.

Taste and Aroma

Eggens Zwaar Blond has a rich and full flavour characterised by a complex mix of sweetness and spiciness. The beer has a firm malt base with notes of honey, caramel and ripe fruits such as peach and apricot. The hops add a subtle bitterness, which is balanced with the sweeter flavours. The aroma is complex and inviting, with hints of spices, flowers and a hint of citrus.

Ingredients

This beer is brewed with a careful selection of high-quality ingredients. The malt and hops are top quality and sourced locally whenever possible. In addition, special yeast strains are used that contribute to the beer's unique flavour and character. This yeast provides the distinctive fruity and spicy notes so typical of a heavy blonde beer.

Brewing process

The brewing process of Eggens Zwaar Blond is meticulous and follows traditional methods, combined with modern techniques. The beer undergoes a longer fermentation period, which contributes to the development of its complex flavours and higher alcohol content. Eggens' brewer pays close attention to the details of the brewing process, from the choice of ingredients to fermentation and maturation.
