De Struise Brouwers – Arie: Clean, crispy, a little bitter and multi mouthfeel! A feast for your taste buds!!
Arie is De Struise Brouwers’ take on a Belgian blonde: deceptively simple, quietly expressive, and well balanced.
Poured bright and golden with a lively white head, Arie invites you in with soft aromas of citrus zest, gentle spice, and subtle fruity esters from classic Belgian yeast. The first sip is crisp and refreshing, opening with light malt sweetness before giving way to fresh citrus notes and a restrained, earthy hop bitterness. At around 7% ABV, it carries a warming strength, yet remains remarkably drinkable and clean on the finish.
What sets Arie apart is its finesse. Rather than overwhelming the palate, it layers flavour with precision, smooth mouthfeel, bright carbonation, and just enough bitterness to keep each sip refreshing. It’s a beer that rewards both casual enjoyment and thoughtful tasting.
Arie shows a different side of De Struise: less bold and dark, more refined and approachable. A perfect companion for long conversations, sunny afternoons, or anyone who appreciates a modern Belgian blonde.
