Anacortes Brewery – May 2018

/0 Comments/in , /by

New Releases for May:

French Wit (4.8% ABV / 15 IBU) – Our take on a Belgian Wit uses a French yeast strain and unmalted wheat to provide a classic hazy, white apperanace appearance. Notes of vanilla and honey compliment a soft, rounded mouthfeel. Coriander and bitter orange peel added to the boil offer a pleasant sweetness that ends in a refrehing, crisp finish.

Barrel Aged Brett (5.6 ABV / 30 IBU) – Ales from two different barrels are blended together to make this lightly tart beer. It’s medium amber in color with notes of strawberry jam and fruit leather while flavors reminiscent of grape and berries finish dry and crisp.

Fidlago Light (ABV 3.5% / IBU 15) – The lightest beer in our catalog is named for our destination island. Straw-colored and lightly hopped, this session beer is designed for light beer drinkers.

Mai Oh Maibock (ABV 6.5% / IBU 30) – Named in honor of Mariners announcer Dave Niehaus’ classic exclamation. This golden seasonal version of the classic bock style is malty with a delicate hop character from Perle & noble varieties
