Trouabadour Aura

Troubadour Aura – Strong blonde ale with apricot and soft nutty notes

Troubadour Aura is a strong blonde ale from the Belgian brewery The Musketeers. This special edition in the Troubadour range has an 8.5% ABV and combines a full, rounded taste with fruity and delicately spicy accents. A beer in which soft maltiness and an almost creamy mouthfeel take center stage.

In the glass, Aura has a golden color. The aroma opens with mild grain notes, followed by ripe apricot, flowers, and a hint of white pepper. According to the brewery, the fruity notes come from the yeast and complement the malty character beautifully. The result is an aroma profile that brings together grain, fruit, and subtle spice.

The taste is soft and full. A blend of malts provides the rounded base and delicate nutty undertones. A hint of honey sweetness sits on top, complementing the fruity notes. The brewery lists 35 IBU and describes the beer as well balanced. According to the product description on Untappd, the alcohol is well integrated and lends a pleasant warmth to the finish.

Aura came about in response to growing customer demand for special editions. For the brewers, this was an opportunity to create a completely new beer within their familiar Troubadour range.

A great choice if you enjoy a strong blonde ale with a soft malt base, a full mouthfeel, and distinctive fruity nuances.

Taste profile: soft grain, ripe apricot, flowers, white pepper, subtle nutty notes, light honey sweetness, almost creamy mouthfeel, warm finish.
