Notes

Quest - 1 | ON TAP BEGINNING OF MAY |

A simple grain bill of only pale malts provide a stage for the amazingly tropical Azacca hop. Imagined as a beer full of flavor yet pillowy soft and easily drinkable as we transition to the warmer months here in Michigan. Fermented with a classic American Ale yeast strain and only Azacca hops, it exhibits flavors and aromas of citrus and very ripe mango, with notes of orchard fruit (pears, apples) and pine needles throughout. A tight effervescence contributes to a beer that softly dissolves on the palate and leaves your mouth coated with a pleasing gentle hoppiness. Happy Spring!
