Herkenrode Abbey in Hasselt, founded in 1182, was once one of the most important Cistercian nunneries in the Netherlands. Today, its spirit lives on in a beer that combines tradition and craftsmanship with modern brewing art: Herkenrode Cister.
Golden yellow and clear in the glass, with a white, lasting head. The nose opens with ripe citrus fruits, peach, and a hint of hop blossom. On the palate, it impresses with an elegant balance: fruity sweetness, fine spicy notes, and a pleasant, dry bitterness on the finish. 6.5% alcohol, harmoniously integrated.
