Lost Coast "Great White Beer" Belgian Style White Ale [4.8% ABV] (12 oz)
Price: $1.99 + $0.05 CRV = $2.04 Due to alcohol laws, we cannot ship any beers. Beers must be purchased and picked up locally in-store.

An American version of the Belgian style. This unfiltered beer has a striking translucent, golden color with white clouds. Seemingly a contradiction in terms, it has a full body mouth-feel but is surprisingly light to drink. Topped with a hint of citrus, provided by Coriander and a secret blend of Humbolt herbs, this beer is slightly sweet and a delight to drink in any season.

Abita "Satsuma" Harvest Wit [5.1% ABV] (12 oz)
Price: $1.89 + $0.05 CRV = $2.04 Due to alcohol laws, we cannot ship any beers. Beers must be purchased and picked up locally in-store.

Real Louisiana Satsumas, golden wheat, oats and the finest barley create Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit. Pale and cloudy, like the haze on a hot summer day, this white beer has a sweet and subtle citrus flavor with a touch of spice that is cool and refreshing.

Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit is very versatile and can compliment a number of dishes. This brew pairs well with salads, fish, shrimp and lobster, as long as the dishes are not too spicy. Thai dishes, which often have citric notes in their flavor profile, would also perfectly compliment the orange flavors in Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit.
Floris Apple Ale 11.2oz (3.5% ABV) Single Bottle (Belgium)
Price: $4.99 + $0.05 CRV = $5.04 Due to alcohol laws, we cannot ship any beers. Beers must be purchased and picked up locally in-store.

In 1993, the brewers at Huyghe decided to pursue an experiment to revive, at least in part, the brewery’s history as a cidery. However, rather than brewing a cider, they decided to experiment with apple juice co-fermented in beer. The base beer for the Floris Apple Ale is a classic Belgian Witbier, or White Ale. These beers are fermented using a combination of pale barley and wheat malt (60%-40%, respectively, in this case), along with coriander seed and bitter Curaçao orange peel for spice. Hops are used in moderation, purely for their preservative effects. By adding unfermented green and red apple juices to the brew kettle, the brewers are able to successfully marry the two styles, resulting in a crisp, lighter-bodied beer with a refreshing, green apple and spice character. This beer is re-fermented in the bottle, so it will pour with that classic wheat beer haze, the result of spent yeast cells in the brew. Normally bottle-fermented beers have an extended shelf life, due to the fact that they are essentially ‘alive’, and still fermenting in the bottle. While this is technically true of the Floris Apple Ale, we have found that most fruit beers tend to lose the intensity of their fruit flavor with time, so we do recommend that you enjoy yours over the course of this summer, to be sure to get full enjoyment from the beer. Like most wheat beers, the Floris Apple Ale is best consumed fairly well chilled, around 40-45°F, and we found that we prefer it in a tall, narrow glass, such as a Champagne flute, Pilsner flute, or specialized Lambic glass.

The Floris Apple Ale pours into the glass with a hazy lemon-yellow color, with golden highlights that are noticeable when the glass is held up to a light source. The head is white, with a very fine mousse that slowly recedes, leaving a beautiful lace in the glass. The aromas are at once sweet and tart, with a big burst of apple fruit, and only the slightest hint of malt and apple pie spice. The palate is light to mediumbodied, with crisp acidity, although perhaps a bit more sweetness than I would consider ideal. Still, the apple aromas and flavors are intense and quite appetizing, with a mid-palate tartness that matches the beer well to food. The finish is the driest part of the flavor profile, with just enough bitter and tart flavors for it to finish cleanly, leaving a lasting apple perfume. This beer may be best alone, as a refreshing end to a day out in the sun, but we have found that it also works quite well with Camembert and other milder, soft-ripened cows milk cheeses, as well as grilled chicken-apple sausages with spicy mustard.
