Beer Description

After a 10 months slumber in an oak barrel, Small Victories is back and better than ever. Originally, Small Victories was a mish-mash of hibiscus, rose hips, and a saison yeast that all came together with touches of each one in the final character. We chose red wine barrels and the accompanying tannin to accent the tartness of the hibiscus and to accentuate the wine characters presented by the rose hips and Belgian yeast flavors, with a moderate aging time of 10 months. The result is a well balanced, cohesive beer that retains the character of the original beer, some red wine dryness which highlights the hibiscus, and a touch of oak to finish it all off. We prefer to drink this beer warmer (like a red wine) as more of the nuances come out as it warms, but can understand if you just can’t wait!
