A spectacular lager that's lighter than Zeus' lightning bolt. This is no doubt a top contender for the most chuggable, refreshing summer lager to date. Crisp malts shine through, and with very little residual sugar, it means this beauty stays clean, bright, and bitter the whole way through.
The "Speciale Belge" beer style was created in 1904 for a brewing contest that was organized by the Universities of Belgium. The goal was to improve the quality of Belgian beer. The winner was a new style, called "Belge". Due to the success in the contest, a number of brewers decided to brew the style and called it "Speciale Belge".
The beer has a big body, high effervescence, and a deep caramel flavor. There's a slight amount of yeast based sourness that creeps in to offer balance, with a flavor that reminds of dates or caramel covered apple.
