- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Bravo, Mt. Hood, Willamette
- Malts: English 2-Row Pale Ale, Crystal, Wheat Malt
- Country: United States
Amber Sun Ale lives up to its name, presenting an attractive medium-dark amber color with a big crop of khaki foam. Perfumed, floral hop aromas are immediately apparent atop caramel, light bread crust, and a touch of fruity esters lurking beneath. In the flavor department, caramelized, toasty notes form a really nice core in concert with a prominent red fruity quality which we really enjoyed. Hop bitterness is moderate, offering just enough...
- Style: English Brown Ale
- ABV: 6.1%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 14
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Bravo
- Malts: English Pale Chocolate, Crystal, Wheat Malt
- Country: United States
Pouring a rich, deep brown with plenty of beige foam, Tiller Brown Ale offers up quite the inviting aroma. Look for toasted bread, deep caramelization, touches of roasty char, and hints of chocolate, nuts, and toffee. On the palate, the beer opens up into caramel and milk chocolate within a medium body, with a light touch of residual sweetness balanced nicely by mild bitterness from the hops, which also present some spicy, earthy, and floral...
- Style: American Pale Ale with Citrus Zest & Honey
- ABV: 5.8%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 35
- Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Centennial, Cascade
- Malts: 2-Row, Best Malz Munich I, Best Malz Caramel Pils, Canada Wheat, Gambrinus Honey Malt
- Country: United States
Hazy golden with persistent foam, Surplus delivers big fruity aromas of candied and zesty citrus melded to a noticeable touch of honey. On the palate, there’s a pretty robust core of pale malts along with a subtle but very complementary thread of honey, the sum of which provides a firm stage on which the citrus zest and citric-floral American hops can perform. The hops also add plenty of drying bitterness that lingers in the finish. This...
- Style: Sweet Stout
- ABV: 4.8%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 40
- Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Mt. Hood
- Malts: 2-Row, Thomas Fawcett Chocolate, Bairds 80L, Flaked Oats
- Country: United States
Florida’s Sweet Stout presents almost black in the glass with a rich head of brown foam. On the nose, it’s quite roasty with coffee notes, dry- and honey-roasted nut overtones, and even a bit of a bacon-like impression. Look for these notes to come forth on the palate too, with impressions of heavily toasted bread, very dark high cacao percentage chocolate, coffee, and subtle hints of dried dark fruit which peak through as it warms in the...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: German Pilsner
- ABV: 4.9%
- Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass

For over a century, beer lovers worldwide have been enjoying this approachable, easy-drinking brew which is extremely popular in Germany. We’re proud to bring you this world class example of the style. Expect a pale...
- Style: Belgian Blond Ale
- ABV: 7.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 24
- Serving Temperature: 47-55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Chalice
- Country: Belgium
This world classic Belgian Blond/Pale Ale presents a rich, golden color on the pour, capped by a voluminous head of creamy foam. Bottle-conditioned (re-fermented in the bottle) in the traditional fashion of authentic Belgian ales, carbonation is strong and leads to a steady stream of bubbles and an attractive collar, especially when using a nucleated glass. Some yeast may be present at the bottom of the bottle. Expect prominent spicy and...
- Style: Hoppy Belgian Golden Ale
- ABV: 7.5%
- Serving Temperature: 44–52° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Goblet, Chalice or Pinot Glass
- Country: Belgium
This beer looks like magic juice. Honey-golden approaching orange, pretty much nectar, and an enormous amount of bright white foam capping things, essentially filling the glass up with a billowing cloud. NOTE: this may head further into orange-amber territory, if you jostle the bejesus out of it like a certain someone. Still: It’s one of those perfect-10 pours regardless. A bold, toasty white-pepper core emerges from the aroma as soon as this...
- Style: Gruitbier
- ABV: 8.5%
- Serving Temperature: 44–52° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Goblet, or Pinot Glass
- Country: Netherlands
This is the first time in seven years that Jopen Koyt’s gruitbier will be making it to the States. Our Rare Beer Club members can expect to get this a month in advance of it hitting any U.S. retail shelves, and the total allocation for 2016 is expected to be very light. Also, according to the historical notes above, it might involve naked sorcery. What more could we ask for? Also: It’s delicious. We’ve crossed paths with plenty of unhopped gruits that left us wanting more, or at least got us understanding why hops would be historically most...
