SURREY, BC – Russell Brewing has announced the release of Nectar of the Gods Wheat Wine Ale, a limited edition single batch ale that is the first barrel-aged beer from the brewery.
A press release from Russell describes the beer as follows:
The beer was carefully aged in Tennessee Whiskey barrels for over four months. The aging process provided the beer with layers of flavour complexity including a fruity-ester character and vanilla-like flavours and tannins. A premium selection of malts were used including over 50% of Wheat Malt and a combination of Pilsner and Munich Malts. The hops were sourced from the USA and France. The US Columbus Hops provide a firm bitterness and the French Strisselspalt Hops offer a lusty black currant flavour and balanced finish. After the barrel-aging, the beer was bottle-conditioned resulting in natural carbonation and sediment.
The entire run of Nectar of the Gods was pre-sold, and is now available in 650 ml bottles at select private liquor retailers in Vancouver and surrounding area.
No sweet nectar in the interior????? NOOOOOO!
Yeah, it’s too bad this isn’t available elsewhere.
Good thing I live in Vancouver. I was able to pick one and IT IS AWESOME.
This beer packs a punch.. Watch out!!
