Balance! That’s what we were looking for and that’s what we’ve achieved with a round but light beer with a perfect degree of bitterness.
Savour it as an aperitif with friends and tell them how it was born…
Following the relaunch of the brewery in 2003, we have visited many breweries and discussed things with many seasoned or debutant brewers. Memorable visits during which the tendencies for our first beer were chosen: we wanted to produce a blonde beer, with too not strong an alcohol percent, with personality but above all remaining well balanced.
To prevent it from being overly hopped, we had chosen four American hops, coherent between themselves, and subtly dosed. And to give our beer body, we opted for a malt charge of 100% barley malt, without any other cereal, nor any added sugar.
At the end of several months of research, we were finally ready to create a brew in our newly installed brewing room. It took place on 01 May 2004, and Tournay Blonde was born!

Thuis uit een flesje. Troebel gouden kleur, roomwit schuim, dat snel inzakt. Goede smaak voor een blond bier, licht bitter. Lekker.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Dorata, mediamente torbida, schiuma bianca media. Al naso note di malto, leggera speziatura, scorza di limone, solvente. In bocca è dolce all'attacco con chiusura amara leggera. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Un po' sporca.

Fles gedeelt met LiekevdV. Het is een oranje geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat sinaasappel achtige geur. De smaak is moutig en grassig.

Voici une bière bien agréable à déguster. Fraîche, souple sur un bon équilibre et une amertume fine (bien travaillée au travers de l’utilisation de différents houblons : Tomahawk, Cascade, Warrior et Sterling). D’une simplicité efficace! Couleur blond doré légèrement voilée (EBC de 18), la Tournay Blonde est parcourue de fines bulles procurant une mousse blanche de deux centimètres d’épaisseur. Le nez est fleuri sur des notes complémentaires de miel, de céréales et de coriandre. L’attaque se positionne sur la fraîcheur, très souple sur des arômes fleuris agrémentés d’une pointe de miel. La deuxième bouche est plus houblonnée sur une belle amertume aux arômes fleuris et de céréales (expression du Cascade et Sterling). L’arrière bouche se positionne également sur une amertume, plus marquée et finement épicées (expression du Tomahawk). L’amertume de la ligne principale gagne alors légèrement en intensité, sur un ressenti légèrement plus important que le niveau d’EBU qui se porte seulement à 28. Le final, sur une bonne longueur en considérant le niveau d’alcool de 6,7 % Abv, présente quant à lui des notes plus épicées très appropriées. L’ensemble est bien équilibré, avec un sucre bien dosé, pas trop présent (pas de sucre ajouté). Cette Tournay blonde vous séduira donc certainement, simple d’approche mais dans la justesse.
