Tasting: Belgian Pale Ale

Tasting notes for our second attempt at the Belgian Pale Ale.
Brewed 12/29/10
OG 1056
FG 1011
5.9% ABV

Appearance: nice golden color, good head retention, very clear. Color is a little ligher than in the picture.

Aroma: malty sweet, some clove and esters

Flavor: sweet, clove, low esters, some hop bitterness

Overall: OK attempt, not as good as the origonal. Higher fermentation temperatures needed to impart more yeast characteristics. Next time we might sub some of the base malt for some sugar to try it out a little bit more.
