Brewing and ingredients

Cuvée des Trolls is made from a precise selection of raw materials: water, barley malt, hops, sugar and yeast. During the boil, dried orange peels are added, bringing a bright touch that influences the nose through to the finish. This subtle addition highlights the lemony thread and fruity softness without tipping into excess. The beer, unfiltered, retains a substantial body and a tactile presence that supports the exuberance of the aromas and signs the natural haze, a guarantee of a more vivid expression and preserved authenticity. The alcohol level, at 7% vol, gives it a comfortable structure while maintaining drinkability, thanks to a discreet bitterness and a measured effervescence. This search for balance is present at every stage, from brewing to bottling, with a consistency that testifies to the know-how of a Belgian brewery renowned for the precision of its style.
