Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp 12 pack this year included a beer called Myron's Walk from Allagash, which was a Belgian Pale Ale. The website for the 12 pack includes great information for all of the beers.
My wife and I liked this beer a lot and I want to try and make something very similar.
===============================
Here is the info from the website:
- ABV -
5.3
- Beginning Gravity -
1.047
- Ending Gravity -
1.007
- Bitterness Units -
38
- Yeast -
Belgian
- Bittering Hops -
Bravo
- Finishing Hops -
Cascade, Citra, Mosaic
- Malts -
Two-row Pale, Unmalted Wheat, Munich, Victory
- Other -
Coriander
Myrons Walk is a Belgian-style pale ale combining the best of our two breweries. It features intense citrusy flavor and a complex aroma from the use of fruity and resinous whole-cone Citra and Mosaic hops offset by the complex spicy character of Allagashs house Belgian yeast strain.
=========================
The actual beer had a lot of belgian spice to it. The aroma smelled hoppier than it tasted, but had some mild fruitiness (which I thought could stand to have a bit more to it). The beer was very clear, despite having yeast on the bottom of the bottle (which I harvested and intend on using to brew this).
Here is the recipe that I threw together based on the information. Note that I substituted a combo of Citra/Simcoe, as I do not have Mosaic and am trying to use ingredients I have on hand. I also plan on using malted wheat instead of unmalted.
Any feedback on the grain bill / hops schedule and amounts would be helpful!
