MASK OF ETERNITY
Mask of Eternity is a Belgian-style sour ale from Beachwood Brewing, the celebrated Long Beach, California craft institution. Pouring a hazy, burnished gold with a delicate white head, this barrel-aged beauty draws the eye immediately. The aroma opens with bright lactic tartness layered over earthy oak, subtle funk, and whispers of stone fruit and citrus peel. On the palate, the Southern Californian interpretation of classic Belgian sourness unfolds gracefully — crisp acidity balanced by gentle malt sweetness, complemented by vanilla and woody notes imparted through patient oak aging. The finish is pleasingly dry and refreshingly tart, with lingering complexity that rewards contemplation. An expertly crafted sour that bridges Old World Belgian tradition with West Coast ambition.
