About This Beer
St Feuillien Grand Cru is a masterclass in Belgian brewing finesse. Produced by the historic Brasserie St-Feuillien, this 9.5% ABV strong golden ale is renowned for its elegant complexity, bottle conditioning, and meticulous craftsmanship. It stands out among high-strength golden ales for its clarity, subtle fruit character, and peppery spice, achieved without any added spices or adjuncts — just premium ingredients and time-honoured methods.
Grand Cru is brewed with pale malts, Saaz hops, and expressive Belgian yeast. The result is a refined craft beer that showcases a full spectrum of flavours while remaining dry, effervescent, and highly drinkable. Served in a tulip glass and allowed to warm slightly, it reveals new layers with every sip.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Pale gold with bright clarity and a billowy white head that lingers gracefully.
Aroma: Pear, green apple, white pepper, and soft floral hops with subtle malt sweetness.
Flavour: Honeyed malt, citrus peel, dried fruit, and a balancing dryness from noble hops. A smooth alcoholic warmth rounds out the profile.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied and effervescent with champagne-like carbonation and a dry, crisp finish.
St Feuillien Grand Cru fits beautifully within the broader world of Belgian strong ales. If you enjoy Duvel, Tripel Karmeliet, or Straffe Hendrik, this is a must-try.
