Celebration

Tap to rate

Celebration is a golden ale brewed for festive occasions. Round, soft malt tones give it a full, gentle character, and the aromatic hops Perle, Fuggles, Goldings and Cascade add a fragrant hop nose and freshness. The bitterness is soft and velvety, so the malt and hops play closely together and the whole beer feels harmonious and balanced.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a full, malty entry with a gentle, slightly sweet character that speaks to the brewery's emphasis on balance. Mid-palate reveals a refined bitterness—velvety and integrated rather than assertive—where malt and hops occupy equal ground. The finish carries a light citrusy dryness that refreshes without astringency, maintaining harmony throughout.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
