Beer Profile
SWINGIN’ FRIAR ALE
This ale, known as the Swingin’ Friar, presents a balanced profile typical of a traditional Abbey Ale. It pours a deep amber or chestnut color, often capped by a persistent, creamy head. The aroma suggests dark fruit esters—notes of raisin, fig, and plum—underpinned by subtle hints of clove and spice derived from fermentation. On the palate, a moderate sweetness is balanced by a gentle hop bitterness, leading to a medium body and a smooth, warming finish. This year-round offering is complex yet highly approachable.
