Flat Earth Belgian Pale Ale
January 14th thru January 20th
Brewer's Description
Flat Earth Belgian-style Pale Ale is inspired by beers like Orval, Fat Tire and Rare Vos. It is made with imported Belgian malt and a Belgian yeast strain. Our Belgian pale ale has a sweet malt aroma with traces of orange, plum and pear. Its complex malt backbone of biscuit and hints of toast compliment the spiciness of the yeast.
Our Belgian-style ale is brewed to be enjoyed with a variety of foods, but try it with some steamed mussels, pizza, a rack of lamb, or even a char-grilled steak. Enjoy!

Poured great; I like a lot of head out of my belgian’s without blowing out of the glass. This one did not disappoint, however it receded fast. I suspect it was too cold at first. My first impressions commiserate with Aaron’s “homebrew” comment. However the flavors opened up some as it warmed up. The hops became a nice green herbal sensation. Citrus flavors mucked about. Soon however, it was drowned by dinner: pizza. Overal, very drinkable but a near miss. The nose remained a little pungent and the body lost most of its carbonation.
Cheers,
