Belgian Pale Ale 6 º 40 IBU

Tourette Brewing

This Belgian Pale Ale presents a modern twist on a classic style, utilizing a SMaSH approach to highlight the synergy between Golden Promise malt and Sorachi Ace hops. The appearance is a brilliant copper with a persistent creamy head. Aromatically, the soft, bready sweetness of the Golden Promise provides a canvas for the hops' signature notes of coconut, fresh dill, and cedar wood. On the palate, a smooth malt foundation balances moderate bitterness, while the Belgian yeast contributes subtle pear and orange esters. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of herbal complexity and toasted grain.

Appearance. Amber to deep copper in color with very good clarity. Topped by a thick, creamy, rocky white head with excellent retention and moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate bready and biscuity malt intensity with hints of honey. The hop character is moderate and distinct, featuring notes of lemon, coconut, and a touch of dill. Low fruity esters of pear and orange are present, with a clean fermentation profile and no significant phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is soft and malty with bready and light toasted flavors. Medium-high bitterness is present but balanced by the malt. The hop flavor is prominent, showcasing coconut, cedar, and herbal dill. Moderate fruitiness suggests orange zest and apple. The finish is balanced to dry with a lingering herbal and woody hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, well-rounded palate. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a prickly but refreshing sensation. Alcohol presence is low, offering only a very faint, well-integrated warmth.
