Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale is made with English Pale, Lager, Crystal and Cara Pils malted barley. We liberally hopped and dry hopped our Ale with American Cascade and Centennial hops and fermented it with California Ale yeast. The result is a brilliant gold ale with a rich body, mild bitterness and a snappy fresh citrus hop flavor and aroma.

Clear very light amber color with a thin white head. Light hopped aroma with hints of honey. Flavor of light sweetness but overall a tad too light.

Flaxen-amber body, thin off-white head. Fresh earthy, grassy hops aroma with a nice, lightly sweet biscuity malt backbone. The body is rather thin, but the grassy, earthy hops take precedence over the simple, toasty, bready malts. This does remind me of a California Common or a malty pilsener. Long, earthy, slightly bitter herbal finish. Kind of plain but refreshing.
