Sun King
Summer Ale with citrus peel and spices
Your friendly neighborhood brewers invite you to celebrate the summertime with Sun King. This beer aspires to capture the dreamlike sense of summertime warmth evoked by the magical track from the Side Two Medley of the Beatles masterpiece, Abbey Road, where it is perfectly sandwiched between “You Never Give Me Your Money” and “Mean Mr. Mustard.”
Sun King was brewed with pale malted barley, wheat, oats, and rye, all grains lending a crisp, clean, complex body and palate. Much like its musical namesake it enjoys a three part harmony of Belgian yeast character, a touch of coriander, and dried citrus peel. Our chosen combination of lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit peel offers complexity in the finish of this delicate beer without any one aspect dominating the overall composition. Light, dry, very effervescent, and moderate in alcohol content, Sun King’s cloudy countenance belies its bright, sunny flavors. Finishing with a pleasantly snappy bitterness, this is one of our most favorite summer session beers yet.
