Gouden Carolus Imperial Blond

This is a strong blond ale (around 10% ABV) from the Cuvée van de Keizer series. It’s brewed with multiple types of malt and three different spices — giving it a subtle but perceptible spiciness. The aroma is fruity and herbal, with hints of orange, cumin, and coriander (per its brewery tasting notes). In taste, it’s quite balanced — rich and full but also refreshingly crisp, thanks to its bright golden character. Rich blond ale pairs beautifully with savory & slightly spicy meals Grilled shrimp or lobster with butter Moroccan or Middle Eastern dishes with mild spices (cumin, coriander, saffron) Roast turkey or pork loin Washed-rind cheeses like Muenster or Taleggio Lemon herb pasta with chicken or scallops
