Oak Fermented Belgian Style Pale Ale weighs in at 4.36% making it a fly-weight beer by College Beer Club standards. It’s not all about strength though. It’s about giving a brewer his head and letting him use the materials to hand (not just raw materials in this case), in order to demonstrate the full range of aromas and flavours that the brewers’ craft can create.

Tasting at Papsø’s, corked bottle
Cloudy dark blond color; small head. Nice aroma, malty, fruity (from the hops? It carries tropical fruits), dynamic; some wood. Dry mouthfeel, with malt flavor, empty of any emotion, a bit astringent, yeasty bitterness. After a great aroma, a boring flavor.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops, hay, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrusy hops, hay, malt, and minerals, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Slightly hazy golden with a small off-white head. Dry, fruity aroma, a little wood and yeast. Fairly light body, dry fruity tartness, a subtle woody touch that kinda grows pleasantly. Ends dry with what appears like British hops. What an odd idea to barrel age a light Belgian Pale Ale!! 180911

Cloudy amber beer, small suddy white head. Smooth low carbonation palate. Interesting! Mildly sour intro with some seltzer flavours. Fresh orange, piney grapefruit with a trace of peach. Smooth finish, with mild bitterness. The hops and the sourness join up really well and are in excellent balance. If this just had a little condition it would have been a cracker, as it stands it was a very enjoyable and tasty beer.
