Beer Of The Week - Driftwood Spring Rite

Beer Of The Week
Driftwood Spring Rite



The second of their 100% local malt series. "Inspired by the Abbey ales of Belgium, the base malt is an artisan barley that is grown and malted on the Saanich Peninsula, (as close to the brewery as we can get). Finishing with a healthy dose of floral hops and the distinct funk of brettanomyces yeast, Spring Rite will continue to evolve with some aging."


Tasting Notes: Belgian ale that's pale Orange in color and has great aromas. Of spicy, peppery, candy grapefruit peel. Now on palate you can taste all the aroma flavors with a little brown sugar on the finish.
Food Pairing: This beer will stand up next to salty pastrami and Dijon mustard, also it will go with some Thai dishes as well as some fish with a little spice or a stinky cheese platter.

Enjoy now or age it.
