A collaboration between Fullsteam and Chef Ashley Christensen, brewed specifically for her newest venture, Beasley’s Chicken + Honey (Raleigh, N.C.). This unfiltered white ale is brewed with toasted Tellicherry black pepper, North Carolina honey, and North Carolina oats. It's specifically crafted to pair with Beasley's signature honey-drizzled fried chicken and, in North Carolina, is only available on-tap at Beasley's and Fullsteam. If you happen to find yourself fresh out of honey-drizzled fried chicken, you’re not out of cluck...this unfiltered ale is delicious on its own or paired with light meats, salads, cheese, or spring vegetables.

Wow, completely blown away.

Pours absolutely beautifully. One of the thicker, more opaque whites that I have had... an awesome deep honey-gold color with lots of foam on top. It looks almost like unfiltered honey.

Smells inviting, but the taste.... wow! Goes down smooth with an initial creamy, citrusy taste. The aftertaste is the magic, though. 15, 30, 60 seconds after drinking, my tongue still feels -- I swear -- fresh cracked black pepper on it. It is so subtle yet distinctive, and I love it.

Great beer. Kicked back 3 on a warm night and went back tonight for more.

On-tap at GBDrink, Washington, DC

A: The beer is hazy light pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down and left a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of peppery spices are present in the nose.
T: The taste starts out with some flavors of wheat and honey but is mostly dominated by flavors of peppery spices; these particularly stand out in the finish.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: With all of the peppery spices, I felt that this beer tastes more like a hybrid between a witbier and a saison.
