Papegaei beer

Papegaei is a Belgian strong blonde ale with an alcohol volume of 8%. The beer is lightly drinkable and has a rich bouquet of hop aromas. It is brewed with fresh hop flowers, which are dried but not turned into extract or pellets, preserving their natural form and taste. The malt composition includes barley, wheat, and oats. Papegaei undergoes top fermentation with a second fermentation in the bottle and is neither filtered nor pasteurized. The beer is produced by Brouwerij Verstraete, a Belgian brewery that operates as a 'beer firm,' meaning it does not own its own brewing facilities but collaborates with other breweries for production. The Papegaei beer is brewed and bottled by Adam Verstraete at the Deca brewery in Woesten, Belgium. The name 'Papegaei' translates to 'parrot' in Dutch, which is reflected in the beer's label design. The brewery is located in Diksmuide, Belgium.
