Belgian White Hop Ale
Lost Forty Brewing

 

Probably the same as the White Hop Ale: 9th Pilot Batch, and is actually called Wandering White Hop Ale. This is better classified as an American Pale Ale which is what I am reviewing it as. On tap at the brewery.

A: Pours a clear straw yellow color. A two finger white head forms with good retention and plenty of lace.
S: Citrus, grapefruit, spices. Light husky wheat, bread and biscuit. Very simple, and really enjoyable in the nose.
T: Like the nose the citrus and grapefruit hit you up front. Wheat and biscuit malts. Lightly toasted, and bready. Finishes with a light bitterness. Wish there was just a bit more umpth, but still very enjoyable.
M/O: A light body that is beautifully crisp and clean. Effervescent, smooth at the same time, and dry. Perfectly simple, and that makes it all the more enjoyable. I can have several without a problem.

A little one noted overall, but that still does not take away from my enjoyment. On point for a Pale Ale with a touch of wheat and hops in the finish. Recommended.

 

 

Straw plus color with white head; good clarity and lacing. Lemon zest and peppery cracker nose. Flavor is slightly spicy with a smidge of citrus and clove. Lite smooth mouthfeel with bright lemon tongue coating. Overall, a little citrus linger adds to the enjoyment of this Belgian style pale ale - quite good.
