Closer Glimpse is a blend of 19 month and 28 month old spontaneously fermented, Lambic-inspired ale, then bottle conditioned for 9 months. It was brewed using a traditional turbid mash process, aged leaf hops, an extended boil, then naturally cooled and inoculated in our koelschip, and barrel-fermented and aged. No yeast is ever pitched to create these batches, and we bottle condition using only the cultures present in the beer from the koelschip. Closer Glimpse is a step towards our goal of creating a Gueuze-inspired 1, 2, and 3 year blend produced right here in Virginia. Very complex, reminiscent of Lambic, musky fruit, cheesy hops with the perfect acid profile.

The beer is a hazy medium orange color that looks nice. The beer smell is a nice sweet peach with a bit of tart in the finish. The moderate funk note acts as a good contrast and is not overwhelming. The taste comes closer to an apricot with a tart note and light sweetness. The funk is stronger but still isn't overwhelming. The feel is good since it has a light body with smooth feel to it. The beer is great and perfect for a warm summer's day and good to sip.
