Bottled Jan 2014/Cellared Mar 2014. Brewed in collaboration with Deschutes Brewery. Brewed with whole flower Mt Hood hops, which were first introduced in 1988, then transferred to Muscat casks and aged with Michigan Riesling Grape juice and Oregon Pinot Noir grape must. The result is a golden belgian strong ale with a pleasant aroma of semi-sweet Riesling grapes and fresh green hops, complemented by a touch of tartness that is quickly cut by a bright, dry finish reminiscent of a refreshing white wine. After nine years in the cellar, the fresh hops have mellowed leaving a slightly tart and vinous ale!
