Originally brewed for Whole Foods. Belgian yeasts are legendary for the fruity flavor and floral bouquet they give beer. Hundreds are used by Belgian brewers and each is unique. Cru d’Or, a Belgian Style Abbey Ale is an homage to this magic ingredient and the result is a world class beer that is lush and profoundly aromatic with a warming finish. Being organic, Cru d’Or is brewed with the same reverence
for pure ingredients as the Abbey and Farmhouse Belgian ales of the past.
Delicious.

From the Columbus WFM. Pours a clear dark brown color with a thin and wispy light beige head, and minimal lacing. Fruits and spices in the nose. Medium-bodied and not very lively, with dark fruit, spice and malt flavors. The finish is mildly sweet with a clove aftertaste. Decent but not great.

Bottle. Rich amber-mahogony beer with a small biege head. Malty, yeasty, raisin aroma. Raisin, malt, plum, yeast, spice flavor over sweet malt and candi sugar. Nice complexity. Very drinkable, but it’s too sweet to make it really stand out.
