Caligula is one of our Wheat Farmhouse Ales. We crafted it with 100% malted white wheat from New England, a touch of Cascade hops from Smokedown Farm Hops in Sharon, CT, and our house mixed culture. Following a triple decoction mash schedule, we fermented and conditioned this ale in one of our American white oak foeders. After many months of conditioning in oak, it was bottled and naturally carbonated within the bottle over the course of several weeks. The beer that emerged is soft, tart, and refreshing. We taste notes of peach, pear, blackberry, lemon zest, and sourdough bread.
It is named after Caligula (12 – 41 CE), who was Rome’s third emperor and known for his reign of tyranny. While hated by the senate, he was loved by the people of Rome due to the many gladiatorial games and chariot races he organized.

Stunningly clear amber on first pour, it does haze up upon secondary pours. The head builds a densely tall, mostly level off-white foam.
Effervescent, a little prickly tartness with a damp biscuit backing translates a bit more pungent and sour than their other farmhouse ales, though also hinting at passion fruit. It smells more sour than it tastes, nearing a vinegar aroma, but taste is more tropical fruit. It gets peachier in the trub.
