COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
REUNION ‘10— Belgian-Style Scotch Ale. Terrapin Beer Co. and Taco Mac are once again participating in the Reunion: A Beer for Hope fund-raising campaign. The Campaign raises funds to support The Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research in the name of Virginia MacLean who succumbed to the disease in 2007. This year’s beer is a Belgian-Style Scotch Ale – a nod to Virginia’s Scottish heritage. The beer boasts a deep amber color with a rich malt palate and subdued hop notes in the finish. We used an authentic Belgian yeast strain for complexity. The beer will be available in 22oz bottles and will be features on draft at Taco Mac restaurants in Georgia later this summer. ABV: 8.5% OG:1078 30 Units of Bitterness

When I bought this beer at the shop it was the last one an it was two years old at the time. I was a bit skeptical. Fortunately it turned out great. Very smooth beer. Gets more complex as it warms. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
