We take a new approach with our French Fruity Pale Ale. This beer style is usually quite bitter, but in our interpretation of it we have elected to focus on fruitiness. Apples, to be precise. The apples complement the malty sweetness and interact very well with the Vic Secret australian dryhopping. The essence of it is a perfect balance between sweet/maltiness, and fruity/ hoppiness.

Malty back bone, balanced sweetness, fruity balance between apples and citrus, ending in moderate hop bitterness.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, spices, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, hops, malt, straw, and apples, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle, at Apotekergaarden. A small, dense off-white head leaves some lacing over an almost clear golden colored body. The aroma has mango and pine cones, some peach and a wee hint of pale malts. There’s apple juice added to the beer according to the label, don’t know how much, but I didn’t pick up any apple aromas or flavors. It’s pleasantly carbonated, medium bodied and smi-dry, with a good bitterness. Mostly fruity in the flavor too, a generic tropical fruit flavor, with mango standing out. It’s lightly piney, with little to none malt flavor. Long fruity and bitter finish. A pleasant one indeed, just like a pale ale should be. 170202
