Week 3 of 52
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!

berrywise says The other white meat
January 13th, 2008
It seems that most of the buzz in the beer world coming out of Minnesota is about Surly brewing but I think a lot of people are overlooking a great new brewery in Flat Earth. I’ve been able to taste test nearly all the beers they have brewed to date and there hasn’t been one yet that I didn’t like. The Belgian Pale Ale, being their first in a year round release, does not disappoint. I really think it does just what the name implies. It combines the best of a Belgian beer with just the hint of the pale ale. The taste doesn’t really jump your bones but is rather quite subtle and enjoyable. And the best part is after you pour a pint for yourself you can go back for seconds because of the nice big bottle 
I had the lightbox up and running so I took a pic.
