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.

Smells like an ipa, grapefruit rind olfactory., perhaps a lot like mild b/o. Taste is at first I think a little too hoppy then it evolves into this backbone of a lemon unsweetened fruit thing. yes, each swig the same; an aroma of mild b/o then a palate finish of a lemony furniture polish thing. Finish is APA. Probably not a belgdy if you are looking for this style, yes, more like an apa - but so what, its beer. Yep, no way is this anything like an old country belgian. Ita a wannah beeeeee.

Sample at The Pint Room. Pours a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium foamy white head that evaporates steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Citrus, yeast and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, yeast and grassy hops. The finish is fruity with a yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.

Single can from Binny’s. Nice tropical fruit smell from pouring it into the glass. Closer in, I can find more of those traditionally piney northwestern hops. A clear gold color in the glass, and it pours with a finger of spongy foam. Malt is pretty light against the overwhelming force of this hoppy little cane toad. Hop bitterness almost pierces my tongue, but is till relaxing and almost indulgent. Definitely a great beer you’d never expect to find in a can.

500ml bottle shared by Brian. Medium bodied, very mellow and sessionable. Nice tropical tones, a mix of Simcoe or Summit or Nelson or something and Belgian yeast, really compement each other well and merge effortlessly. Very clean. Solid offering.

Can. The beer pours a clear gold with a medium to small head and aromas of slightly funky honey with a little grass. Flavor is decidedly sweet... lots of honey and a little funk and lots of spice. Mostly honey and spices. I’m not really in the mood for sugary beer right now and this is kind of cheesing me off... Not awful, but certainly not going to be a favorite.
