Bruges Afternoon

While Belgian Pale Ales are generally copper-coloured, malty, fruity/spicy beers, Bruges Afternoon is a hybrid beer: a golden/pale orange-coloured beer that's big on hops. With a decidedly Belgian-like grist (Pilsner malt, Aromatic, and Wheat malt), this brew was hopped almost entirely after the boil was complete, with lots of Azacca and Mosaic. Fermented with a Belgian yeast strain (the commercial version of Chimay's strain) to provide fruity esters, the fruit character was amplified further by a large dry-hop addition of more Azacca and Mosaic. Quite drinkable at just 5.2% ABV, expect a fruity, very tropical beer with a medium mouthfeel, complemented nicely by the Trappist yeast. Show Less
