100PAP

Tap to rate

An amber-copper pale ale at 6 % ABV: fine hop aromas and a malty touch on the nose, caramel and biscuit rounding the palate, with pear, apricot and gooseberry fruitiness and herbal notes from organic Belgian hops grown by Joris Cambie. A slight, refreshing bitterness balances it all. For every crate sold, the brewery donates 6 euros to the 100PAP non-profit.

The nose opens with fresh, elegant hop character—pear, apricot, and gooseberry emerge alongside subtle herbal notes from the organic Belgian hops. A supportive malty foundation of caramel and biscuit rounds the bouquet without overshadowing the delicate fruit and floral aromatics.

◐ Taste

The palate balances fruity complexity with a clean, refreshing bitterness. Caramel and biscuit provide a soft, slightly sweet mid-palate that transitions smoothly into peppery, herbal spice. The finish is dry and moderately bitter, with lingering fruit and a crisp, clean fade.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
