Rube Goldbeer
This complex, yet refreshing Belgian ale has upfront notes of malt candy sweetness, followed by spice notes and balanced by a slight alcohol warmth. With notes of clove, pepper and banana, this is a lovingly crafted, traditional Belgian ale.
A moderate hop bitterness cleanses the palate, leaving you with a complex, dry finish.
