Crius Sterk Blond beer

Crius is a Belgian strong blonde ale known for its high alcohol content (8.5%) and rich flavor profile. The brand is specifically brewed for the Dutch supermarket chain Lidl. It is characterized by its refermentation in the bottle, a traditional Belgian brewing technique that enhances the complexity and carbonation of the beer.

The beer's name and branding, featuring a ram's head, are inspired by Crius, the Titan of constellations in Greek mythology. While it is marketed as a craft-style beer with a distinct identity, it is produced as a private label product to offer high-quality Belgian specialty beer at a competitive price point within the retail market.
