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!

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with excellent retention craters leaving sea foam lacing. Sweet caramel, yeast and biscuit aromas. Dry with upfront sweet caramel turning to an very bitter, almost metallic (in a good way) lasting finish.

11.2 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma is dominated by yeast and wheat notes, with some light clove and candied sugar. Flavour mirrors the nose almost exactly, with the yeast dominating, with some notes of candied sugar, wheat and clove. Very high carbonation, though easy drinking nonetheless. Solid light Belgian ale.

Hazy and light amber colour with an off white head. A bit fruity and moderate sweet nose. Malty background with fruity, light citric and some spicy notes in the flavour. A bit to much alcohol coming through.

Had it at Delirium in Brussels during Paul’s pre-wedding bro-down. Pours hazy, yellow-gold with a decent, white foam head. Nice beer. Good grassy bitterness, crisp crackery malts, medium sweetness. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Pretty dry to finish, which is nice, with a crisp, refreshing pine edge and light grass notes. Some mild fruit, gum and bread as well. Nicely rounded beer overall.

Cloudy dark gold beer. Thick foamy white head. Light dry palate. Dry malt, some dry insipid fruit - orange and lemon. Dry soft finish. Struggling with this. Tired taste and palate.
