Together with Beeeeer - Torino we brewed this European pale ale of 6%. While thinking about which beer to brew, we came to the conclusion that we've both been inspired by a legendary Brussels brewery. We decided to honour them by brewing their most iconic beerstyle: a bitter pale ale with only European hops. Bitter, complex, but also very drinkable.

A simple maltbase (only Pils malt) supports the multilayered hoparoma. We wanted the hops to play the leading role, while not striving to brew an extreme IPA. We used three bitterhops (Saaz, Magnum, Golding) to create the noble, spicy yet clean bitterness. For whirlpool and dryhopping we chose Mandarina Bavaria, Hallertau Blanc and Callista.
