Witkap Pater Singel

Brewed by Brouwerij Slaghmuylder
Style: Belgian Ale
Ninove, Belgium

33 cL, cloudy gold with a white head. Yeasty, grassy aroma. Slight sweetness becomes bready, moderately bitter, with a slight tartness. Touch of citrus. Medium body and nice balance. Well made and tasty, refreshing.

A Mes rate: Bottle from Lowlander. Hazy blonde with a pretty solid white head and loads of lace. Usual spicy Belgian blonde aroma but with some pleasant grassy hops. Crisp and reasonably sharp hoppy flavour. Herbacious with some definite lemon. Finish, although quick, is instantly refreshing. Lovely clean mouthfeel. Very drinkable and moreish. Good summers afternoon drink.

Very light footprint with tart, yeasty flavors. Wheat coming through showcasing a hint of mellon. As expected, there’s no hop presence. A bit of malt finish in back of palette. A bit of a "dusty flavor" (for lack of a better term). As the beer warms, it opens up revealing more of the orange. Not best I’ve had, but a very refreshing beer. Nothing overly distinctive about this beer, but is amazingly drinkable on a hot day. Doesn’t really hit the palette with a ton of flavor as I typically like, but that makes it a bit more of a simple, thirst-quenching, refresher. Nice.

White wine like aroma, fruity and bitter smelling. No head, lots of effervesence. Deep cloudy golden color. Very nice balance in the taste. Slightly alcoholic, malty flavor. Good hop character as well. Great full mouthfeel. I’d drink this again, very nicely balanced ale.

Draught at the Waterhuis aan de Bierkant, Gent. Creamy golden ale. Sweetish, fruity, spicy and orangey aroma. Sweetish and malty flavor with tart rhubarb twist. Gentle fruitiness and spiciness. Pleasant.

Bottle from Bottle Barn; Nose of light fruit, vanilla, and light spices; cleargold with a big yellowish head; flavor of tart app;es, fruit and light spices, with a little pepperiness; finish is a very light tartness.

Tasted as Stimulo. Nose is lemon & fruit, some light caramel, plenty of citrus & yeast, some spice. Flavor is lemon, strawberry & other fruits, some sour bitterness, a tinge of malt lays outside. Kinda wheaty fruity finish.

Somewhat hazy pale yellow body, and a fluffy head that faded rapidly. Little lacing. Yeasty aroma, with some lemon, and coriander. Same fruity/spicy/citric notes in the taste, a bit heavy on the coriander but nicely sour and refreshing overall. Short finish with some spicy hoppiness. Heavy carbonation, solid mouthfeel. Decent.
