Simple Things Fermentations Belgian Pale - Big Ideas Series 05

Description Smooth dark beer brewed to a traditional recipe, although the infusion of spruce tips, harvested at Whitelee Windfarm outside Glasgow, provides some light character. Rebrewed for 2021. Phil from Simple Things says “It’s a style that’s criminally misrepresented a lot of the time. Boring, sweet, almost cloying. It doesn’t have to be this way! The key to getting it right is a clean, almost Germanic, fermentation. We ferment low and slow and let the malts shine. Last year’s version was not too far removed from a Dunkel but this year the spruce tips are a bigger part of the picture. It’s modern, proudly Scottish and there’s probably not another beer available in the UK today that tastes anything like it.” 5.5% 330ml bottle
