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.

Iszonyú nagy habja van, és rendkívül lassan apad. Színe enyhén homályos borostyán sárga. Friss, fűszeres illat. Finom üdítő savanykásság, jelzés értékű édességgel. Erős keserűsség, ami utóízében még durvábbá válik. Jellegzetes komlós ízvilág, a lágerekre hasonlít. Testes sör, érezni hogy erős.

Cloudy golden colour with a large head due to the high carbonation levels. The citrus aroma is quite dominating and the beer is relatively bitter. Below average for the style for sure. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Masuyo’s. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a huge rocky white head. Lots of yeast on the nose with some light lemon zest, banana, clove, cardamon and alcohol aromas present. Starts out with a little sweetness, then finishes with a strong bitterness with some woody and mineral character as well. Great carbonation with a medium body. Excellent lacing throughout. An almost saison-like character but the booze shows on the finish. Very enjoyable classic Belgian.

Doble malta y trigo. Pajiza y turbia con tropezones de sedimento. Espuma hiperabundante con aspecto de gel de baño. Aroma plano y si acaso metálico. Potente en boca con predominio de dulce caramelo, aunque tiene un toque metálico, y también algo de melocotón. Bastante alcohólica.
