Houblon de Citron
DESCRIPTION
In the French speaking parts of Belgium hops go by the name houblon, and lemon is citron, giving this beer the name lemon hop. Coming in at 8.8%abv this beers is deceptively smooth thanks to what the Belgian’s refer to as a “digestible” character, which refers to its low residual gravity and dry character. We also used a high quality belgian pilsner malt and a bit of biscuit malt to build a backbone for the alcohol. Finally this beer is hoped with a combination of Simcoe and Lemon drop hops to give it a slight herbal character, with hints of lemon, citrus, and pine.
