Ter gelegenheid van de viering van 200 jaar Franse revolutie ontwierp brouwerij Huyghe in 1989 het gelegenheidsbier La Guillotine, een hoppig bier met dry-hopping van 8,5% VOL alcohol. Heel vlug sloeg het bier in een tiental landen aan waardoor La Guillotine nu een eervolle tweede plaats heeft verkregen in het Huyghe gamma.

Kleur en uitzicht: Goudblond, meergranen bier met een zeer persistente, wandklevende schuimkraag.
Geur: In deze complexe geur, ontwaren we een citrusachtig aroma, gevolgd door hoparoma's zoals Saaz, Brewers Gold en Amarillo.
Smaak: De eerste aanzet is zoetig, komende van de aanwezige alcohol. De intense smaak en volmondigheid maskeren de aanwezigheid van de hoge bitterheid.

33cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark blonde, transparent, with fine white foam, limited. Aroma is fruity, alcoholic, and partially spiced. Body is not particularly dense, with good carbonation, but eventually with quite a mouthful. Taste is fairly bitter for a Belgian ale, with a noticeable alcoholic feeling. Final is slightly longer than average.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy golden brew (Their Duvel-variation) More sweetier, lesser spicier of taste, not a bad one.

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, Belgian style yeast, grass, spiciness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, spicy and bitter. Nice.

En tulipa, color oro claro, velada, espuma blanca de burbuja amplia bien conservada. En nariz despende aroma a levadura belga, fruta de hueso, cítricos, cereal. En boca tiene un golpe amargo bastante notable, buena presencia predominante del lúpulo sobre la malta, notas de hierba, pera, naranja amarga y buena dosis de especias. Final largo , seco y bien amargote. En conjunto a mi no me desagrada, quizá un poco desequilibrada en cuanto a amargor se refiere, pero no esta mal

Smell-weak malt, Belgian. Foam- thin, malt, weak Belgian tones, weak bitter tones, faint roast. Head is medium-sized, white in color. Sticks. Appearance- interesting label and I guess cap is beer-specific. Clear orange in color, with some active carbonation. From - snifter Taste - weak hops, bitter tones, malt, faint Belgian tones, faint spice. Nothing special overall, drinkable.
