Belgian Pale Ale 7 º

Livebarrels

Brunhilde presents a sophisticated balance of strength and grace, characterized by a rich and fragrant malt foundation. This Belgian Pale Ale leads with bready and honeyed malt aromas, elegantly layered with moderate fruity esters of pear and ripe apple. The signature presence of Saaz and Styrian Golding hops provides a refined herbal and spicy counterpoint that defines the profile. Despite its elevated strength, the palate remains smooth, showcasing a harmonious interplay between biscuity malt depth and a clean, supportive bitterness. The finish is balanced and dry, lingering with subtle floral notes and a polished, elegant character that reflects its namesake's power.

Appearance. Luminous amber to deep copper with brilliant clarity. Topped by a dense, rocky, creamy white head with excellent retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent bready and toasty malt character with hints of honey. Complemented by moderate fruity esters of pear, orange, and red apple. Low to moderate spicy and herbal hop notes from Saaz and Styrian Golding. Fermentation is clean with a very low peppery phenol profile.

Taste. Initial soft, biscuity malt sweetness followed by a complex profile of toasted grain and light caramel. Fruitiness is moderate, suggesting dried orange peel and orchard fruit. Bitterness is medium-high, providing a clean structure. Finishes dry and balanced with lingering herbal hop flavors and a faint peppery yeast spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively, scrubbing sensation. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its elevated strength, without being harsh or fusel.
