To say everyone has been reevaluating things over the last couple years would be an understatement, and we'd be no different. Our passion for Belgian Ales and European Lagers has always been central to what we do, but we finally found some time to reimagine what we can do and how we want to do it. Olyvia is the first of these beers to hit our packaging line. Our take on a true classic, Olyvia is simple but void of any cut corners. Its ingredient list is simple; the best Pale Ale malt Belgium has to offer, a light dusting of two of the most classic European noble hops ever, and our favorite Trappist yeast to produce notes of pear, apple, banana, cherry, plum, lemon, and hints of pepper and biscuit. While often playing second fiddle to the more popular Belgian Golden Strong Pale Ales, the simple Belgian Pale Ale is maybe one of the greatest styles of beer in history; popping off all of the same esters and flavors that Belgium made famous but more sessionable.

Honey-gold amber w/ a receding finger of frothy head. Aromas of toasted nut, pecan, clove, herbal spices, and a touch of honey. Taste follows w/ some candy syrup, more clove, slight banana chip, robust malt & faint hop character. Finish is dry & puckering. This was an absolute pleasure. I live for you, I long for you, Olyvia. Don't let me go...

Fieldwork's interpretation of a Belgian pale is spot on.
First, the golden can with it's floral artwork is beautifully over the top.
The beer is a golden delight, honors the Belgian style and goes down easy.
