Brewed in the English tradition, this strong, golden brew is intended for sharing and lazy sipping. The addition of local honey provides this big ale with its delicate honey aroma. Smooth Caramel flavors and subtle hop bitterness make Castle Hill Summer Barley Wine the perfect companion to a sublime sunset.

Wow, who brought this 1.5L? Morgan? Awesome! Pours copper with gold edges and lasting off white head. The aroma is almost musty then chewy sweet malts along with plenty of pine hops and a sense of spicy hoppiness. The taste begins with thick sweet malts and a touch of apricot – prune dark fruity esters. It then moves into nearly sticky chewy malts and pine hop bitterness creating a pleasing flavor. Into the finish the sweet malts don’t let up and move into the after taste with the aid of a dash of roast, smooth pine hops and a growing sense of booze. This is a smooth even tasting American Barleywine.
