In 2008, we congratulated Mark Graham and Loren Miraglia for winning our Batch No. 1 Homebrew competition by brewing their beer as our very first batch. Recently, we decommissioned our original brewhouse and brought a new, state-of-the-art brewhouse to life. Recreating our first recipe seemed the best way to begin this new chapter in our brewing history. Levud’s is a Belgian-style golden ale that’s crisp, effervescent, complex and filled with memories and significance in our brewery’s history.

bottle number 431/2157 pours hazy burnt orange with a tall frothy off white head. Lemon peel, peach, yeast and alcohol in the nose. Sweet peach juice and bitter lemon peel mix with a peppery hot alcohol finish. The sweetness is not overbearing, but cloying with the alcohol going unoticed until the lengthy finish. Very nice brew.

Big thanks to MrChopin for bringing this to the Pittsburgh RB tasting extravaganza 8/2009. Slighly hazy. Pale yellow. Strong alky impressions but has an interesting fruitiness about the olfactory. No carbonation detectable. Medicinal odd cough medicine. Sweet and tart at times lurking in the background, adds to the uniqueness of this brew. Alky lingering finish. Thanks kevin for letting me taste this even tho I am not good enough for it.

Sampled from a750 ml green bottle this beer poured a hazy vivid golden color with a small head and some chunky bits suspended. The aroma was tangy, sweet and had touches of caramel and ripe fruits. The flavor was tangy and fruity with a sugary and yeasty undertone and touches of cherry, caramel and nut. The finish was long, sour and tangy. Thick body but a bit too much alcohol shows through. Interesting.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, citrus, peaches, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is very sweet with notes of malt, oranges, and peaces, as well as a lighter note of alcohol, which burns lightly in the throat. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Pours slightly hazy deep gold with nice white head. The aroma has musty apricots and pears to go along with sugar sweetness, honey, spices and herbs. The taste starts with a pulse of vague sugar sweetness and then moves into pear and apricot fruity sweetness. It becomes mildly honey like with a thin layer of tartness just underneath. Nice full flavors blending together creating a pleasing experience.
