Breakside Brewery Bellwether

“Brilliant straw gold with a foamy white head. Layered aroma of candied orange peel, herbal tea, juniper, and fortified white wine supported by grainy and spicy notes. Tasting, a wave of orange, both fruit and pith, jasmine, white tea, white pepper, and the lightest touch of pineapple tang at the end. Mouthfeel is spot-on; residual sugars allow the beer to do its magic, but it’s not sweet. Alcohol adds to the experience. The aftertaste is herbal and gin-like, with a dry and warming finish and an almost pithy citrus aftertaste. A very interesting drinking experience that is like bow-tie cocktail meets solid beer.”
