Ciney Blonde

Beer Description

Ciney Blonde was created in Ciney, Wallonia, in 1980 and became part of the Belgian special ale landscape with a soft, balanced blonde profile. The brand sits within the Heineken-connected Alken-Maes portfolio, with Heineken taking control of Alken-Maes in 2008. Ciney Blonde is top-fermented, golden, gently fruity, and smoother than aggressively bitter hop-led beers. Within the archive, it represents Belgian regional ale heritage carried into a modern international brewing portfolio.
