La Guillotine Belgian Pale Strong Ale

La Guillotine : Vibrant Notes of Citrus and Apple

La Guillotine is a celebrated Belgian blond beer produced by Brouwerij Huyghe, renowned for its golden blond color and multigrain composition. This beer boasts a persistent, lacing head and a complex aroma that melds citrus with hop aromas from Saaz, Brewers Gold, and Amarillo. The flavor profile is characterized by a sweet onset due to the alcohol, which transitions into an intense taste and roundness, effectively masking the high bitterness. The beer's golden blond, multigrain nature is paired with a complexity in aroma and flavor.

Brouwerij Huyghe, the creator of La Guillotine, has a rich history dating back to 1654, with Léon Huyghe commencing operations in Melle in 1906. Now run by the fourth generation of the family, Alain De Laet, Brouwerij Huyghe is known not only for La Guillotine but also for its world-famous Delirium series.

The beer's unique blend of sweetness and bitterness makes it an excellent pair for intensely flavored cheeses, complementing the rich tastes and textures with its round and complex flavor profile​.
