This Belgian-style blonde ale brewed to "celebrate" the end of the government shutdown. This brew is actually a small beer made from the second runnings of wort from our Congressional Approval wheat wine (release date Nov. 20).

The twist for this beer was that we fermented it with Belgian Ardennes yeast, which provides a lovely blend of fruity esters and phenolic notes. A lighter-bodied, refreshing beer to take a growler of when you go visit the recently reopened national park or monument of your choice!

On tap at the brewery, served in a tulip glass, quick review from written notes.
Thanks to Aaron for this one!

Hazy greenish gold color, the thin head faded to a wispy skim and ring around the edges of the glass fairly quickly.

Slight sulfuric and clove notes from the yeast. A little odd and overly spicy.

Yeast forward and spicy, clove, pepper, soapy lemongrass. Kinda blah. Finishes dry and bitter with residual pepper/clove spiciness. Medium bodied and spicy. Its ok,not all that drinkable though.
