Terroir Series –Napa Ale (Single Origin Ale)
A golden copper hue offers aromas of grainy-malt with caramel/toffee notes layered with yeast spice and subtle hop resin tones. Fruit notes of dried peach and mango. The palate is smooth and lean with a light toasty sweetness and integrated bitterness. A malt forward ale with smooth bitterness and Belgian yeast phenolics.
