Angel

6.5% Alc/Vol. Bottle and Keg Conditioned. 6 weeks old at release. Nano batch, 200 litres  Vegan. Label art: Michael O’Brien & Robin Crawford. Seasonal.

The grain bill and organic sugar are balanced with heavy handfuls of classical hop varietals added later in the boil and again just 3 days before packaging. The spicy nose and taste is entirely from the yeast-malt-hop combination. Brettanomyces, {wild} yeast is a dominant feature of this ale, which would be closest to a traditional English IPA, if the Brett’ yeast was absent. 

Food pairing: Lunch AND dinner, but only if you’re in Belgium.  Proper bread and butter. Witloof, and other strong temperate climate vegetables. Asparagus,  trout, mussels, soft or strong cheese, fowl, fruit desserts.
