Belgian Pale

A beer that is barely even a blip on the scene in the US. I tried brewing this 5 or 6 years ago with mixed results. Too much orange peel made for a wonderful Grand Marnier flavor. Thanks Mr. Mosher.  Keeping it a bit simpler. Some Maris Otter and Munich malt with a a little sugar to lighten the body. Clean bittering hop and a lot of Styrian Goldings late addition should be a nice Marmalade touch to go with the Munich.
