Alaskan Winter Ale
Style:
English Olde Ale. Traditionally malty with the warming sensation of alcohol,
Olde Ales are brewed in the fall as winter warmers.
Flavor Profile:
Brewed in the style of an English Olde Ale, this ale balances the sweet
heady aroma of spruce tips with the clean crisp finish of noble hops.
Its malty richness is complemented by the warming sensation of alcohol.
History:
From the seafaring adventurers of the 1700s to the homebrewers of today,
adding spruce tips to beer has a rich history in Southeast Alaska. The
tender new growth of Sitka spruce tips lends a delicious, yet subtly sweet
floral aroma to tea, jelly and now Alaskan Winter Ale.
Ingredients:
Alaskan Winter is made from glacier-fed water, Sitka spruce tips and a
generous blend of the finest quality European and Pacific Northwest hop
varieties and specialty malts. Our water originates in the 1,500-square-mile
Juneau Ice Field and from the more than 90 inches of rainfall we receive
each year.
Recommendations:
Perfect winter warmer by the fireside or an accompaniment to holiday fare.
Serve with roast goose, turkey, ham or lamb. A nice complement to holiday
breads, pound cake, or apple pie.
