Pale Ale
Belgian Pales consume the Belgian brewing scene, and were initially brewed to compete with Pilseners during the WWII time frame. They differ from other regional Pale Ale varieties, by traditionally being less bitter, using aged hops for a delicate hop finish, and boasting sweetish to toasty malt overtones. They should be decanted properly, leaving the yeast in the bottle. This will showcase their brilliant color range from pale straw yellow to amber hues. Most will be crowned with thick, clinging, rocky white heads. Flavors and aromas will vary. Some have natural spice characters from yeast and hops, while others are spiced.

Average alcohol by volume (abv) range: 4.0-7.0%

When the monks of Grimbergen, a small village to the north of Brussels, founded their monastery in 1128, they could hardly have imagined that their beer would one day become known the world over for its fine taste and quality. The original recipe has scarcely changed since it was first made some nine hundred years ago, under the watchful eye of the phoenix, the emblem of the monastery. Beer connoisseurs greatly appreciate this light-coloured, fruity beer with its frothy, abundant head, that used to be served up by the monks to weary travellers who made made their thirsty way up to the wooden gates of the Grimbergen monastery.

Caulier Saaz 5.5° - 1/2L - 16.9fl.oz

Bottled in a swing-top bottle, this is a top-fermented live beer brewed with Saaz hops, that pours a cloudy pale yellow with plenty of swirling sediment, and a thinish white head. The immediate aroma is gently wheat-beer-like, with lemon and some floral aspects showing through, and just a hint of cloves. On the palate it has a chalky, dry quality, with more lemon and sour apple fruit, and plenty of acidity. There's a little biscuitty hint, but the floral, citrus and dry mineral qualities carry on into the finish. Quite an unusual style, and goes well with Chinese food. 5.5% ABV, 50cl

Pater Lieven Blond 6.5° -1/3L - 11.6fl.oz

Appearance: bright, peachy gold color, though fraught with dark floaties drifting around. Makes me suspicious, perhaps a little afraid. Head is a powdery white, well-retained. Nose: big with spice, sharp, and citrusy. On the tongue, smooth, with mellow hops. Good balance, bright, happy taste, short, but friendly finish. In short, the fruity flavor and generous yeasty taste, creates a nice, sweet brew, easily enjoyed.
