Belgian Ale ›

Belgian pale ale

Belgium's counterpart to the English pale ale, and less bitterly hopped than its model. De Koninck, at 5% ABV, and Palm Speciale are notable examples.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is as deep as its sources, which cover modern craft brewing far more closely than anything else. A country at the top of this list is where the most examples have been recorded, which is not the same as where the most are brewed.
