| Description: | Arete is a blended barleywine, constructed over two separate batches (one of which was particular dry and high in ABV) that was then dry-hopped, the result being a significantly detailed American-style version with a tremendous amount of depth. This is 100 percent Centennial hops throughout, but it feels way more expansive than a single-hop beer should. Pouring a deep amber-brown color, Arete offers an herbaceous, fresh-mown character, some deeper and subtle citrus notes, along with an engaging floral character. It's a one-hop wonder, but we'd have never guessed so. There's some dark-fruit, leathery complexity, soft brown sugar and caramel, with a soft, red-fruit alcohol note. Fine carbonation keeps things on point. Bitterness is just enough, while the interior notes of this beer build with warmth: chewy caramel, toffee, brown sugar. | |
