A smoky, fruity delight. This is the drink you will find in your hand after you are slain by a Frost Giant in glorious battle at the gates of Asgaard. We basically set a strawberry field on fire and crammed it into some booze. A very smoky malt bill with a portion of added raw sugar gave our Belgian yeast strain plenty to work with. Fruity yeast esters are accompanied by generous additions of strawberries post-fermentation. The tart fruitiness compliments the smoke extremely well and is laced with just a hint of boozy heat. A highly complex and fitting end to our current Belgian yeast strain, this is the penultimate release featuring said yeast. Is this our most outlandish smoked beer yet? Maybe. But it could also be our best. The decision is yours, guardian.

Growler: Slightly hazed brown with a tea-like foam head. Sweet ham scent. Taste is lightly smoky, fruit-glazed ham. You can honestly get the strawberry notes. Mild, smooth. A truly different beer. Excellent.

Growler. Smoky malt, berry, vanilla, and very light funky straw aroma. Hazy amber with a small off-white head. Light smoky horse blanket, sweet fruity berry flavor. Body on the light side of medium, soft carbonation. Unusual and very well done. They’ve definitely got a knack for smoked beers.

Draft. Smoked candied (pineapple/berry) ham and malt aroma. Hazy amber with small head. Sweet strawberry/pineapple, smoked ham, and caramel malt flavor. Smoky and fruity - got to hand it to AtG. Not only did they try this unusual combo - they pulled it off.
