Poperings Hommel Bier 11.2 oz bottle Brewed by: Leroy Brewery Country: Belgium Style: Blond Color: Golden ABV: 7.5% BeerAdvocate.com rating: 90 Poperings Hommelbier is a classic Belgian golden ale brewed in the heart of the Belgian hop region, close to the city of Poperinge. Its name comes from hommel, the local word for hops, and the most famous export – a tribute to the town’s rich brewing tradition since the 19th century. It was brewed for the first time in 1981 for the triennial hop festival in the village.  This hop-forward golden ale with a dense white head has a delicate bitterness and a floral aroma of green aromatic hops, yeast and mild fruity notes. A full and refreshing palate shifts to mild citrus, orange and grapefruit in combination with the hops. The sweet honeyed finish combines with a slightly spicy flavor of cumin, ending with a kick of hops.  It is a high fermentation beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle.  Food Pairings: Mild cheeses, mussels & seafood, roasted chicken, fresh salad Brewery Information: For over four centuries, Leroy Breweries have been synonymous with tradition, craftsmanship and passion which is reflected in their range of outstanding quality beers.  The breweries even survived the French Revolution and World War I.  Today the tenth and eleventh generations of the Leroy family are at the breweries’ helm.
