Beers similar to Simplex

Brouwerij De Ranke

Belgian Pale Ale·Belgium·4.5% ABV·One of 45 Belgian Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Simplex's hoppy and grassy character. Simplex arrived in spring 2017 as a light, low-strength addition to the De Ranke range. It is a top-fermented ale designed to show what an old-fashioned pils once had: straw-blond, unfiltered, unpasteurised, generously hopped with whole cones and firmly bitter at only 4.5 percent. The label even states that it is not a pils. Grassy, herbal hops and a hint of lemon peel sit over doughy, grainy malt on the nose. The palate stays light and crisp, and a lingering, piney bitterness dries out the finish.
