Blond Beers

Blond beers are light, medium to strong and top fermented.  They are medium to full bodied, easy drinking and blond to golden in colour with an alcohol content between 5.5 to 11.0 %.  Characterised by a fruity to sweetish malty flavour and distinct hoppy dryness, they often have a pleasant spicy after taste. Some of these beers are bottle conditioned, evident with a yeast sediment in the bottom of the bottle. These are a light variation on pale ale, often made with pilsener malt. Some beer writers regard blonde and golden ales as distinct styles, while others do not. Duvel is an archetypal Belgian blonde ale, and one of the most popular bottled beers in the country as well as being well-known internationally. Its name means “Devil” and some other blonde beers follow the theme—Satan, Lucifer, Brigand, Piraat and so on. The style is popular with Wallonian brewers, the slightly hazy Moinette being the best-known example. Delirium Tremens can be considered a spiced version.

These beers are often many peoples first experiences of Belgian beers, after Pils and Wheat beers.
