Light Pants is a session Pale Ale and cloned hybrid from our double IPA Shark Pants recipe. Enjoy the soft bitterness from the use of exotic hops. Cheers!

1/III/25 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (2025 Winter/Spring edition), BB: 21/VIII/26, bottled: 21/VIII/24 (2025-154)
Clear orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, irregular, non adhesive. Aroma: a bit cheesy up front, hoppy, some nice dank hops, a little yeasty, some tropical fruits, lovely stuff really! MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: nice, pretty bitter, a bit dank, cheesy, not very fruity, some citrus notes. Aftertaste: a bit floral, soapy, malty, grains, ok but not great.

Bouteille 33cl @ Belgian Winter gathering 01 March 2025 – Tim’s place, thanks Mat.
BB 21/08/2024 + 2 years.
Couleur léger pale, col blanc fin.
Arôme sur une base d’emblée tirant sur le belge avec ce caractère classique de Struise – malté discret en rétro-nasal – houblonné noble sur de fins effluves terreux, fruité.
Palais garde une approche belge avec de fins esters – malté pâle carapils, houblonné vers le noble – terreux, floral discret et finement fruité.

Bottle. Clear amber. Malty, quite floral, soft blueberries, spruce, caramel, bread crust. It's nice and malty but not with a lot of hops actually. Quite full flavored for a low anv beer though. Under medium sweet and bitter and almost medium bodied. Not bad, but I expected more hops.

1st March 2025 @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Old school crystal malty feel. Slight up-grade from bottle.
12th Oct 2024: Draft @ De Struise, Oosvleteren. Pours pale gold, light mist, white head. Light citrus nose, crystal malt. Flavour profile is quite gentle, very soft citrus hop, light amber malt shades.. light sesh, nice enough.

Hazy blond colour white foam. Typical oldschool IPA aroma. Lots of citrus, pine, tropical fruitiness. Bitter and dry with fruity hints. Lots of flavour for this low ABV IPA.

Pours a darker, cloudy amber. Small white head of medium stability.
Scent is very earthy , intense hops . Caramel malts. Heavy for its light abv. Taste is harsh, raw earthy hops, UK style. Medium bitterness but very very resinous. Not like the other low abv ipa's . I actually like this ! Is struise regaining its quality ??? Absolutely pleasantly surprised here.
