Our flagship beer, and firm daily favourite, is a classic European Pale Ale. Golden, crisp and bitter with a floral aroma owing to Slovenian and Czech hop varities, carrying notes of lemonbalm, tangerine, minerals and a touch of white pepper. Modelled after the late 19th century predecessors from Burton-on-Trent, it is one of the very few examples existing of a Burton Pale Ale.

Bottle sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Orangée sur un léger trouble, col blanc. Arôme présente un bouquet houblonné assez fin, citronné. Palais est houblonné sur ce côté fermenté tirant vers le houblonnage à cru. Fruité suivi d’un fleuri moyen pour au final un profil restant très belge, cad tirant sur des houblons nobles - neutres.

Small whitish head leaving lacerings; fully hazy orange-amber beer. Hops - crude EU hops, in serious doses. Old bread. Again oxydation in the flaovur, old bread, oxydized hops, short of cheesy. Quite slick, meidum bodied, well carbonated feel. Disappointing. If one aspires to make IPA, use real IPA hops, not bl**din Be bittering hops.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2013 where it was sold as an IPA. Hazy orange with a creamy white head. Nose is a bit stale, light hops, touch fruit, light sweet BE yeast, hint of spice and dust,… Taste is equally lightly dusty and stale, bitter herbs and grass, light hops, bitter floral and lighter sweet BE yeast,… Body is reasonable but carb. Is touch too low. Its okay.
