It was Roger Demarche who designed this beer and toured the region to sell the first barrels. The beer was successful and soon developed from a local beer into a national asset. Its success meant that in 1980 a crisp blonde beer joined the powerful brunette. Halfway the 1980s this top-class beer was perfected and was known from then on as Ciney. Now that Ciney is part of Alken-Maes it will get every opportunity to satisfy consumers throughout the country.

High-fermentation beer staying clear at low temperatures unlike other special blonde beers. A mild and pure blonde beer, with a fruity flavour set off by a well-balanced pleasant bitterness.
