Epic Adds to Exponential Series

The newest forthcoming addition to Epic Brewing’s Exponential Series will be Brainless on Raspberries. Much like the rest of the Brainless portion of the series, the base of this beer is their award-winning Brainless Belgian golden ale and then raspberries will be added with the final product aged in wine barrels.

So far the other two in the series, Braineless on Cherries and Brainless on Peaches, have a wonderfully fruity and tart finish so expect the same with this batch. Only a few thousand bottles of these beers are released so grab a few when you see them!

Style: Belgian-Style Fruit Beer  (w/ Raspberries)

It employs five fine malts, two noble hops, and both of the distinctive Chouffe and Ommegang yeasts. You’ll enjoy the smooth drinkability, fruity aromas and flavors, and warming finish

Green Flash’s Rayon Vert Hits 22oz Bottles

Green Flash Brewing launched Rayon Vert in March in 12 oz bottles.  The Belgian pale ale is bottled with brettanomyces yeast (an infamous flavor changing yeast) and has been a big hit.  Now, Green Flash is giving the beer some bomber treatment.

If Green Flash were founded in historical Belgium, Rayon Vert would have been our flagship brew. A bold layering of hops finds balance from traditional malts. Bottle conditioning with fresh ale yeast and Brettanomyces finishes the beer, adding a delightful effervescence, dryness and continuously evolving character. Rayon Vert is Green Flash.

Style: Belgian Pale Ale
Availability: 12 oz bottles, Draft. New 22 oz bottles.
Arrival: Late May, 2012

7% ABV, 32 IBUs
