This brew is a shout-out to the alter ego in each of us, beckoning it out of dormancy. Porter Hardy, IV, brewery president, left his career as an attorney to heed the call of his weekend passion, making beer. Along with some friends who were just as consumed by beer, he established Smartmouth Brewing Company in 2012. Alter Ego, brewed in the farmhouse style of a Belgian Saison, is an effervescent and refreshing beer with fruity notes, a hint of pepper and a dry finish. Try pairing it with seafood, especially oysters or mussels, smoked sausages or cured meats. It complements aged gouda, chevre and ripe soft cheeses.

Glad I am the first one to review this limited edition. It is s raspberry saison aged in and fermented in Chardonnay barrels with fresh raspberries. (So they say). I don't get in fruity beers. This one is awesome!!! Get the raspberries notes in aroma and taste. I wish it was a little lighter but it's great. Never had a raspberry beer before. Drinks smooth. Would have gotten a higher score if raspberry taste was a bit lighter. I still have it high marks though.
