Not all things are as they appear! With the humble beginnings of a Pale Ale, this beer became a “Biere de Garde”, and at one point one would have said it was a Brown Ale. We now call it a “Biere de Sonoma”. This brew is a delightful combination of the aforementioned styles. Sometimes a brew will not find its personality until many batches have been brewed, and this is the story of Perdition. A complex bouquet with mouth filling notes of spice, toasted malt, and citrus make this unique and tasty brew one to enjoy with flavorful dishes.

From tap at Russian River, Santa Rosa. Aroma is rich darkish malts with spicy notes, caramel, yeast, toffee, touch of sweet dried fruits, bit candied. Sweet and mild bitter flavour. Medium bodied. Okay, not really feeling this one.

On tap at brewpub. Amber red pour. Small creamy beige head. Toasted malt nose hints at caramel. Flavor is bittersweet toasted malt, dried fruit and spice. Nicely complex. Earthy caramel finish. Tasty.

Aroma is caramel, malt and milk. Balanced taste between the malt and the hop. Seems like this was kept as a biere de garde should be. Light fruity finish.
