Belgo-style Pale Ale
An approachable and unpretentious take on a distinctive style, generous in flavor and delightful to sip. An exuberant punch of Citra and Krush in the dry hop enlivens a crisp, traditional Belgian-style Pale Ale with sweet tangerine and apricot notes. Refreshingly original and compellingly off kilter.

Can. Clear golden body. Fizzy white head, diminishing. Aroma of citrus, orange peel, toasted grain, mustiness, spice. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/sticky texture, lively carbonation. Taste of light clove, mustiness, spice. Along the lines of DeRanke XX, but not nearly as clean or as refined. Still, a nice beer.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is like candied peaches. All candi sugar and peaches. Flavor is fruity with more peach and some elderflower herbal-ness. A little dash of coriander or orange peel would really make this great. It is fine as it is though, plenty fruity and refreshing.

Draught @ Malt and Mold. Slightly cloudy golden with small foamy off-white head, faint vanilla aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter hoppy taste with little Belgian yeast characteristics, thin body, longish medium bitter finish. Nice brew, hops obliterate the Belgian a bit.

Really good; one of the best Belgian IPAs I’ve had. Clear dark amber color, cream colored relatively long lasting head and some lace. Aroma is malt and fresh hops. Flavor is a perfect blend of malt fresh Hops bitterness a little bit of sweetness and carbonic tang.

Can from Milk and Hops, Chelsea. Pours an unclear golden color with a frothy head and medium lace. Citrus, orange, and pepper. Wheat, clove. Some resiny notes, grass, peach, and a bit of dough. Tingly, spicy mouthfeel, fairly dry on the close. Pretty nice.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a mild burnt golden orange color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice even pace. Mild lacing sticks in rings.
The aroma balances nicely between some white pepper, Belgian bready malts, and some sweet citrus.
The flavor initially yields to the bready sweetness and then entices the citrus and white pepper for a nice balance. Some floral dry sweetness in underneath. Gently folds the sweet floral over the bready malts in the aftertaste and rolls into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Some stickiness, but not cloying.
Overall, good Belgian pale ale that I would have again.
