Olde Spare Tyre - Mini Mash

Belgian Pale Ale • Partial Mash • 5 gal

If you like New Belgian's Fat Tire, you are gonna love this beer. The bisquit flavor is a little more mellow, but the Maris Otter malt gives a wonderfully unique malt profile, which compliments the mild, Noble hop flavor and Belgian yeast characteristics. This is one beer you will want to try - several times!
