This Belgian-style pale ale is our vision for a light, flavorful, refreshing, and lower alcohol Belgian-style ale. We use the addition of coriander seeds and two different kinds of orange peel to add complex citrus notes to the spicy fermentation character of our house Belgian yeast.

Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, Belgian yeast, coriander, spicy and floral notes, bit sweetish fruits, touch of citrus. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Enjoyable but a bit run-of-the-mill Belgian style ale.

Pale ale fooled me. Nice ok Belgian Blonde. Typical fruity, banana and some yeast in flavor and aroma. Refreshing in the sun.

Medium white head. Clear still yellow body. Fruity spicy banana aroma with mealy notes. Sweet fruity banana taste with light spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel, somewhat low carbonation. Sweetish fruity banana aftertaste with spicy notes. Stored this for too long, I think, because the flavour is kind of muted, and only the lovely fruit character remains. (0.355l bottle, from Kihoskh, Copenhagen.)

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 30A/24B). Bottle 35.5 cl - Batch unknown (BBF unknown). AROMA: medium-high aroma of oranges, pear drop and slight coriander. medium malty-sweet background with a slight alcohol note. APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. medium-low white head with low to no retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium-low notes of oranges and slight pears. background of malt with a grainy-sweet impression. PALATE: medium-low body. medium carbonation. OVERALL: a nice belgian pale ale but where the added spices are beginning to fade.
