This orange-colored, non-alcoholic ale is top fermented with a special yeast that metabolizes only a fraction of the total amount of malt sugars in the wort, thus resulting in a beer with a smooth malty taste and finish and plenty of residual sweetness. This sweetness, however, is balanced by some Weyermann® acidulated malt and Sour wort in the kettle, as well as generous additions of hops to the kettle, whirlpool, and dry-hopped. The hop additions are equally divided between Columbus and Centennial. They lend slightly resinous notes of pine, grapefruit, pepper which give the beer an earthy and refreshing bitterness, a surprisingly slender mouthfeel, and a delicate dry finish.
Pair this ale with a curry dish, a baked trout or perch, or a mandarin cheesecake.
Ingredients: Water, Weyermann® barley malt, Weyermann® wheat malt, hops (Columbus, Centennial), yeast
