Belgian Strong Golden Ale·United States·7.5% ABV·One of 25 Belgian Strong Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Damnation's fruity and spicy character. A fruity banana bouquet and a dry, spicy finish mark this medium-bodied golden ale, inspired by Duvel and other strong golden ales of Belgium. Damnation was the first official Belgian-style beer brewed at Russian River. It shares its Belgian yeast strain with Redemption, which ferments colder and so softens the clove and banana of that yeast.
