COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Intensely fruity and complex Belgian-stlye ale. This special beer is brewing art from start to finish. A full mash tun of malted barley is required to reach the high gravity required for this style, along with a high percentage of a special classic Belgian-style malt. Noble hops are added sparingly to the kettle. During the long boil special kettle sugars are added in the Belgian tradition which lend unique flavors in the fermenter. A classic Belgian yeast strain is pitched and the long fermentation is monitored closely as the flavors develop. The beer is then chilled and aged before being kegged and bottled.

Beautiful amber color, well carbonated with a continual upfeed of bubbles and having a perfect head. This beer has a smell that is decidedly yeasty with grainy and cherry components as well. As far as mouthfeel is concerned, this beer is far less carbonated than the appearance would indicate--having a rather syrupy texture. This belgian ale has rich winy taste with a gin and raisin spike. A belgian ale for sure--but somewhat uneven.
