Dorking Northdowns Bel Dorking Brewery Capel, Surrey
Beer style: Belgian Ale - Pale / Golden / Single Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are Cask; Regular.
A smooth strong 5.5% Belgian style ale.
Made with 5 different grains and Belgian Candi sugar, it’s flavoured with late additions of Styrian Goldings hops.
The finished product benefits from extended conditioning, but is well worth the wait. A truly authentic taste of Belgium, with a North Downs slant. Complex combinations of flavours - malt, caramel, raisins, dates, woodiness, biscuit. The sweet flavours hit you straight away, but this immediately dissipates into a light bitterness, with a smooth mouthfeel. I recommend respectful sipping in a comfy chair. |
