Accessible spicy blonde beer of only 5.5 vol% matured in gin barrels
This beer has matured in eight months ‘Villiers’ gin barrels and 8 months in bottle. Noblesse VSOP is thus a clear beer, and has a very fine, light bitterness of hops and juniper. The beer is refreshing, smooth and has sufficiently long aftertaste. A perfect thirst-quenching beer.

Bottle shared by me. Hazy golden with short lasting white head. Wow, massive juniper and Jenever up front, immediately followed by resinous hops and a rum like sweet booze character. After the really strong initial Notes there’s some sweet malts, vanilla, lemon, dough, flowers and quite some spices. Medium sweet with hoppy and spicy bitterness. Medium bodied with a bit thin feel and quite some carbonation. Massive beer for just 5.5% abv, unique and very nice but definately not for everyday.

Flaska från Beergium. En annorlunda blond. Spritsig och en aning spritig sina 5,5% till trots. Har nog plockat upp lite alkholsmak hos genevern och då även lite enbärsbeska, tydlig ginsmak och lite mandelkubb lätt fadd eftersmk. Ett roligt experiment som funkar helt okej men kanske lite tröttsam att dricka en stor flaska av.

Another special Noblesse edition matured on ’jenever’ barrels and refermented in the bottle for a very long time before being put onto the market. Thin, creamy, off-white head, deep golden blonde colour. Complex aroma of apple, lemon, apricot, wood, gin, hay, caramel; fruity sweetish taste with light sourness, drying, smooth caramel malts, oaky finish with indeed a hint of jenever, dry and quite complex.
