De Ranke Franc Belge Amber Ale

Country: Belgium

Brewery: Brouwerij De Ranke

Style: Belgian Amber Ale

Format: 330ml Bottle

ABV: 5.2%

Franc Belge has the qualities you would expect in a 'Spéciale Belge'-style beer: a soft malty flavour, which resembles the taste of a biscuit. This is due to the lightly coloured malts (pils, pale ale and munich) that are used and the very moderate lever of alcohol of 5.2% abv. A very drinkable beer with a bitter but delicate flavour, thanks to the use of Fuggles-hops, a variety of Kent Golding. It's a unfiltered, unpasteurised beer for which only real hopcones, so no pellets or extracts, have been used.
