Originally brewed as our hoppy welcome to Spring after the long, dark months of winter, this low ABV, kölsch inspired ale is cool fermented and dosed with Nelson Sauvin. Lower fermentation temperature slows the yeast's metabolism and provides balance by gently subduing super-fruity esters and spicy phenols. Sprang is refreshingly light bodied with aromatics of earthy evergreen, passion fruit, and faint doughy malt. Flavors of concord grape, mango, and herbaceous white wine interweave with cracker-crisp, pilsner malt character and minimal bitterness. The finish is dry with a lasting touch of grain.

GREY’S VIEW
Nelson Sauvin, Citra & Sterling hopped Kölsch styled APA.
Mouthfeel is first to hit. Lively and quirky bubbled, them bouncing around being airy and playful. There’s clearly grainy touch to it which is accompanied with the dry hops and lingering feel of juice. Taste offers me mild peaches and tangerine with drybread. Maltbase is convincing and notable. It has that light overall feel to it. Some earthiness arrives on the backend with slightly cream crackery and mineral end.
OTHER NOTES:
Easy to consume in numbers and in good company.
