Blond beer

Pale ale well balanced between bitterness and sweetness.

The addition of hops is very controlled and this is what makes the bitterness moderate.

Lupulus thus creates a lighter beer than its big sisters with a slightly more present hopping than on the rest of the range.

Typical sweet bitterness with a fruity dimension.

A Belgian IPA. Golden Tricky is brewed with the Australian hop variety Ella. This gives it an exotic fruity flavour that reminds me a bit of conference pears and tangerines. There is also a slight spicy coriander flavour in the background. This, combined with a good bitterness, makes this beer very easy to drink.

The exotic aroma of the beer might trick you into expecting a sweet taste. On the nose, you’ll notice some scents of apricot, mango and passion fruit. But you can prepare for some bitterness in the taste. You’ll get a quick hint of fruit and sweetness in the beginning, but the hop gives it a bitter aftertaste and a dry finish. 

The beer has a golden colour and a firm white head. The carbonation is medium to strong. 

The Golden Tricky beer was brewed to honour a witty priest in East Flanders.
