Eggens Lokaal Blond 33cl

Eggens Lokaal Blond is one of Eggens Brewery's signature beers and perfectly represents the brewery's philosophy: high quality, locally anchored and craft brewed. The beer falls under the blonde beer category, a popular beer style known for its accessible taste and light, refreshing character. In addition to local grain, 100% local hops were used from hop grower Fokko Prins.

Flavour and Aroma

Eggens Lokaal Blond has a subtle balance between malty sweetness and soft hop bitterness. The flavour is rich and full, with notes of honey, caramel and a slight fruitiness reminiscent of citrus and peach. The aroma is pleasant and inviting, with floral and fruity notes that excite the senses without being overwhelming.

Ingredients

As the name suggests, Eggens Lokaal Blond is brewed using mainly local ingredients. This fits within the brewery's broader vision of supporting the regional economy and promoting sustainability. The malt and hops are carefully selected to achieve the desired flavour profiles and ensure freshness and quality.

Brewing process

Eggens Lokaal Blond's brewing process follows traditional methods, but with a modern twist. The beer undergoes carefully controlled fermentation, resulting in a consistent product with a bright golden colour and a stable head. The fermentation temperatures and times are set to achieve optimal flavour development.

Serving suggestions

Eggens Lokaal Blond is a versatile beer that goes well with a variety of dishes. It goes well with light meals such as salads, grilled chicken and fish dishes, but also with cheeses and spicy dishes. It is a perfect aperitif beer, but can just as well be drunk as a refreshment on a hot summer day.
