New Beer Descriptions
 
Avery White Rascal, 5.6%ABV Belgian Witbier
A: Light lemony yellow with small white head and cloudy appearance.
S- Lemony brightness with bready yeasts, and slight bubble gum smell.
T- Coriander and bubble gum from yeast flavors stand out. Light citrus/lemon taste.
M- Medium-bodied, smooth, light mouth coating after swallow. Wakes up the palate.
O- Very nice ... heavier than true Belgian Wits (true to stereotypes, Americans make everything bigger and higher in alcohol). Great for patio pounding, pairing with cheeses, fruits, light dishes, and veal. Enhances sweetness as well as bittering fruits like lime and lemon.


New Belgium Abbey Ale  7.0%ABV 
Belgian Dubbel
A:  Pours a clear, roasty amber color with lively carbonation, and a light tan head.
S: dark roasted malts, dark dried fruits, Belgian candi sugar, and notable Belgian yeast spiciness.
T: caramel, toffee, dark fruits and roasted malts, with signature Belgian yeast characteristics
M: medium body, with medium carbonation and a spicy dry finish
Pairings:  This beer is perfect to pair with the Wagyu beef, Chocolate masala mouse or the Whisky cake


Julian Harvest Apple Hard Cider    7.0%ABV
A:  Julian Hard Cider pours a crystal clear, nearly colorless, uber light green straw color with no notable head.
S:  Tart apple aroma with hints of white flowers, a touch of minerality and a really restrained sweetness.
T:  Tart and dry with a touch of minerality and subtle apple flavors.  Great for the Dry English Cider drinkers
M: light- medium bodied for cider, moderate carbonation and a tart, dry finish.
Pairings:  This could go with so many foods, try it with the roasted summer squash, rosemary ham, red endive salad, cheese, boudin blanc
