Orient-Ále is a hybrid between Saké and beer. An Ale with clear foodprints in the East. We used Koji spores, Darjeeling tea and a combination of Sake yeast and Beer yeast. The results, a complex, different beer with an elegant body, but dangerous, because of the hidden alcohol.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 07.2024) im 2021-05 getrunken. Diese belgische, goldene Ale kommt mit einer festen Schaumkrone daher. In der Nase ist gleich eine leichte citrusartige Hopfennote present. Am Gaumen ist der Hopfen aber auch eine leichte Süße spürbar. Es erinnert fast an ein süffiges Englisches Pale Ale. Prost!

Bottle. Color: Hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Yeasty, herbal notes. Taste: Very smooth. Interesting and complex combination of moderate sweet, light bitter and very lightly tart, yeasty, umami, herbal / spicy hints and black tea notes, light fruity hints of apple. Dry to very dry mouthfeel. Medium body, below average carbonation. I'm not familiar with Saké, so I can't compare, but this beer surely has some Oriënt influences. Interesting beer / beer-saké hybrid from this equally interesting brewery. Nice one.
