Libertine
Agrarian Ales

Thanks to our neighbors Jon and Martha Sundquist at Rivers Turn Farm, we were able to make a series of new harvest seasonals utilizing their orchard fruit. "Libertine"is made with a single variety of Liberty apples. Hand-picked, then pressed here on the farm with caring hands makes this yet another special Agrarian offering. We added the apple juice directly in with the barley wort to converge their destinies and ferment together. The aroma of this bright golden brew is like apple perfume, light, fruity, and sweet. The body is medium with a suprisingly beer like mouthfeel. The tartness of the apples is present in the finish, which is dry and crispy despite the rich malt and candied apple flavors lingering on the palate. Libertine's apple flavors and aromas are reminiscent of a cider, but the body and mouthfeel remind you it is most definitely beer. One might say it is the best of both worlds...
