Golden Pear was inspired by traditional Belgian brewing practices, using a Trappist yeast strain and German pilsner malt. Belgian candi sugar and pear juice combine to create a nicely layered ale that "pears" well with everything. This melange showcases aromas of fresh herbs, harvest apples, and honeyed malt. A golden orange body with a bone white head carries flavors of sweet zesty grain, earthy spice, and highlights of freshly picked pears.
