The second beer in our single-hop Belgo pale ale series is marked by lingering notes of slightly bitter tropical fruits and soft pine, balanced by our mild-intensity Belgian yeast.

Very cloudy dark orange. 2 finger white head, tight bubbles, sticky legs. Smells very nice. orange juice, lemons, hay and wheat. Nice mouthfeel, good creaminess with a little soda bubbles. There’s orange and some grapefruit skin, wheat, grass, rye. The malts are a little overpowering compared to the hop composition. Would be good on a hot day though. this isn’t pushing any boundaries but very clean

Draught at the brewery, 9/8/15.
Minimally hazy amber-copper body has a medium-sized white head that slowly recedes to cover.
Fuzzy fruit skin-like notes in the nose with lime, orange, cherry and a caramel-pine thing going on as well. As with all Schilling beers, malty but nicely attenuated and though there’s a suggestion of resin here, it’s not anything problematic. Gets fruitier and maltier with warming.
Very well-hopped, leading to light pine, cherry and dry pineapple with softer Belgian esters underneath. Kind of on the fence about this hop. While there are a good mix of fruity flavors including some lighter, more enjoyable tropical fruits, there’s also a good deal of bitterness taken just a bit too far, I think. Nonetheless, a malty, but yet mostly dry body and appropriate, tight carbonation help mitigate this somewhat. Clean, as always.
