A combination of traditional expertise and 21st-Century modernity, Réserve Royale is a prestigious Belgian beer to be enjoyed like a champagne, as a pre-dinner drink and by the most discerning of palettes, including that of Comme chez Soi chef Lionel Rigolet. Having been awarded 3 Michelin stars over a period of 27 years and 2 stars since 2006, this icon of Belgian gastronomy celebrates his 90th birthday this year. A tribute to the Belgian monarchy, as a prestigious ambassador for our country around the world, the name Réserve Royale also makes reference to the exceptional vintages produced in the world of wine and spirits.

TASTING NOTES BY HANNES DESMEDT

 (World Best Sherry Sommelier, Bartender at Café Privé and Hertog Jan 3*) 

 Appearance

A wheat straw yellow color with a slight turbidity of 2nd fermentation and a firm, fine creamy foam.

Nose

First nose: Toasted wheat with a supportive hop and white flowers. Second nose: Iris, white roses, fine herbs, and light truffle flavor.

Taste

Attack: Very fresh with a sweet edge and a soft creamy texture. Mid-palate: Structured with a mild bitterness, pleasant hoppy impressions, and a very flowery character. Finish: Very unctuous with little aggressive CO2 bubbles and a retronasal aromatic hoppy character.

Conclusion

Réserve Royale is a very nice balanced gourmet beer with a delicate sparkle and a pleasant hoppy character. Floral aromas and the bitterness of the hops are rightly combined.
