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!

Most Belgian beers tend to be more like wines in alcoholic heft and complication of flavor. It’s nice to see a Belgian style which does not want to knock me over, and I can enjoy a few with friends, or pair with a meal. I enjoyed this beer. It has a great fruity flavor from the yeast and a nice spicy bite from the German hops. It is subtle enough that it complements almost any meal, but I noticed the best return with salty fried foods like calamari or onion rings. The fruit and the hops really come to the fore with that tasting, go figure.
