World Beer Awards 2020

World's Best Pale Belgian Style Blonde
Country Winner
Affligem
Blond
Belgium

"A clear golden beer with a big white head. Candy sugar stands out on the nose. A soft creamy mouthfeel that yields banana esters and a prominent pith bitterness that balances out the sweetness. The finish is drying with retronasal hits of bread and orange. A wonderful balance between malt and hops."

"Gold straw in colour, with nice lacing and good carbonation. Blossom notes with bountiful orange and honey, and a creamy maltiness with some low bitterness. Visual orchards in bloom created on each sip. Very good. "

"A deeply herbal nose, with the addition of cloves. Very robust in body, with banana and Belgian yeast giving it real character through to the finish."
