The yeast brings juicy pear esters to the nose and there’s a honeydew freshness in the mouth, but don’t expect the crispness of those two fruits. This beer’s almost into liqueur territory - honey sweet and thick as syrup. I can imagine Belgian grannies in the 1800s giving this to kids when they’re sick.* Billycart Blonde certainly picks up speed, but never loses control; it’s all held together neatly with a bounty of malt character, and there’s only enough alcohol warmth to make your eyes shine.
