Klondike Birch Sap Ale

Yukon Brewing
Canada·Amber Lager
Tap to rate

Brewed with birch sap tapped from Yukon trees. Light amber in the glass, with a naturally sweet aroma of caramel malt and a faint woody, syrupy note from the sap. The palate is crisp and clean, the sweetness restrained, and a light mineral edge runs under the malt. Bitterness stays low and the finish is short and refreshing. Poured only at the brewery itself.
