BALANCED AND REFRESHING (6.7%)
A dense head sits atop a bright, golden body of beer. As the smooth taste of the first sip settles, the roundness of tropical fruit leads to a refreshing finish. On swirling, strong notes of banana, yeasty spice and a hoppy aroma flow freely.
Brewed by the monks of St. Joseph's Abbey, this is America's first Trappist beer. The recipe was inspired by the traditional refectory ales known as patersbier (“fathers’ beer” in Flemish) in Belgium. These sessionable beers are brewed by the monks for their dinner table and are typically only available at the monastery. Spencer is a full-bodied, golden-hued ale with fruity accents, a dry finish and light hop bitterness. The beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized, preserving live yeast that naturally carbonates the beer in the bottle and keg and contributes to the beer flavor and aroma.
The flash of this spinnerbait stimulates the senses with its sweet malty currents and deep red hues. The BA reels with fruity esters and spicy notes from the Ardennes yeast which swirl through the Belgian rock candy, casting the perfect presentation for the hops to set the hook on this big boy.
This unique brew builds from the inspiration of Flemish reds. It begins with an earthy sourness and hints of dark fruit but the tartness gives way to a rich maltiness and touch of toasted oak. These flavors are rounded and deepened by the barrel aging for a layered & alluring brew.
Hidden in the cold ground in the dark of winter, lie little seeds of hope. So, to help hasten the spring thaw, Summit Brewing Company gives you an ale bursting with the spicy goodness of malted rye and floral, citrusy hops. A “between seasons” seasonal, if you will. Now available in 12oz cans!
Blood Orange Gose is a tart, refreshing wheat ale that is kettle-soured with lactobacillus and brewed with sea salt and coriander. However, unlike traditional versions of the style, ours features liberal additions of blood oranges during fermentation. This imparts tangy citrus notes that complement the champagne-like flavors, creating a complex and sessionable ale perfect for any occasion.
(Re) Introducing Helios Ale. Victory Brewing has rebranded the former V-Saison and now introduces Helios Ale. This bottle-conditioned, Belgian-inspired ale remains the same refreshing ale that you enjoyed as V-Saison, however, in a more approachable, less expensive 22 oz capped bottle. Helios Ale has an earthy, aromatic hop start and shifts into aspects of lemon peel and black pepper. This is a quenching, invigorating ale, despite its substantial strength.
This style was developed to refresh farm workers during harvest season in its native Belgium. Though such high alcohol is surprising to imagine as suitable for ‘refreshment,’ it does seem to fit the Belgian philosophy on enjoyment of their beloved beer.
Inspired by the Bear Republic team’s passion for racing, Grand-Am™ is an American Pale Ale worthy of the “Racer” family. True to the brewery's roots, this sessionable yet assertive ale balances both classic and new American hop varieties with a distinct malt backbone. Start your engines…
This beer is indeed a complex and surprising combination of flavors, but behind the fancy title is simply delicious Stone IPA dressed up in new Belgian duds. The addition of a carefully selected strain of Belgian yeast adds unexpected layers of flavors and aroma, providing a deliciously funky overtone to the hoppy brightness you already know and love as Stone IPA. Think of it as an otherwise identical twin to Stone IPA that was raised in a Belgian culture.
