O’hare’s Beer Club October 2013 Box
From Odin Brewing out of Seattle Washington USA comes the “Thor’s Sunstone” a Belgian-Style Tripel brewed with spelt. Spelt is an ancient style of grain from the fifth century. The beer pours golden yellow with a white head. The aroma consists of a strong sweet start with citrus, Belgian yeast, rind, pepper, spices and some hops. The flavour is of citrus, yeast, pepper, spices, malts with a lasting citrus rind bitterness. The alcohol content comes in at 7.9% and an IBU of 20. This is not my favorite of the beer coming out of Odin Brewing but it is still a pretty good beer. Well worth picking up a bottle especially if you like Odin Brewings beer.
Commercial Description: Sunstone is a light summer addition to our premium Thor’s lineup. Pepper and spice flavors from the Belgian yeast abound yet give way to orange aroma from generous hop additions. Sunstone is the perfect beer to enjoy on the long days and short nights of summer.
Food Pairing according to O’hare’s Beer Club notes are as follows:Crab cakes, roast turkey, baklava
