The country ales of France inspire our Fall seasonal beer, Bridal Ale. Bridal Ale was originally brewed in celebration of the wedding of two Pelican staff members, brewer Travis Zeilstra and server Jen Pelletier. This year’s edition of Bridal Ale features a deep copper color and a rich, toasted malt character. Subtle floral hints and fruity notes punctuate the aroma, while a slightly sweet malt flavor and warming effect characterize the finish.

Post Borefts I Invasion of Fonefan and Charlottes room tasting! Cloudy amber beer. Chocolatey malt with a light biscuit caramel and subtle hops. Not bad.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear orange color with a medium white head that diminishes to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt and floral hops. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, sweet malt, caramel and a touch of yeast. The finish is hoppy with a lingering floral finish. Above average overall.

This bottle had very little carbonation and had a watery mouthfeel. It was tasty though.

750 ml corked and caged bottle ordered over the web directly from the brewery. 2008 Vintage. Opens with a loud pop. Pour is hazed orange, copper and beige. Fine carbonation bubbles steadily rise up to a billowing 4 inch whitish-tan head. Head is quite lasting. Decent lacing. Aroma earthy peaty caramel maltiness. Some floral vanilla in there too, very soft and pleasant nose. Taste is the caramel maltiness of the nose initially, then some nice grassy hay floral graininess. Finish has some slight citrus bitterness and yeasty spiciness. Palate is medium, nice big body though still manages to be crisp and drinkable. This was a nice beer. Thanks for doing web sales, Pelican!

Hazy amber with tiny off white head. Sweet vinious aroma with overripe fruits, caramel, plums and toasted malt. Sweet fruity aroma with toasted malt, caramel and alcohol notes. Somewhat watery for a beer of this style. Ends sweet with warming alcohol.
