Name of Beer: Very Very Far
Beer Style: Belgian Blonde Ale

Description: A twist on the spirit of Belgian mixed fermentation that utilizes a non-traditional wine yeast, Torulaspora delbrueckii. Torulaspora enhances fruitiness while a classic Belgian ale yeast imparts a Belgian spice character. The Rakau/Sterling hop profile is built to compliment the fruit ester character from Torulaspora delbrueckii and spicy character from the Belgian ale strain. This golden Belgian style ale has subtle fruity notes of apricot, lychee, currant, and honey layered with noble hop spice and peppercorn phenols notes.   12 ounce bottles.
