Brewed with flaked wheat, this harvest-time session beer showcases the fruity esters of its farmhouse ale yeast strain. A late addition of fresh Carolina peaches elevates this golden nectar to the sublime – and honors Belgian tradition of infusing beer with local flavor. The result is a homegrown Grisette that captures the sweet, juicy essence of a peach, so you can savor the taste of summer in the South.

Tasting Notes:

Aromas of stone fruits and Belgian yeast esters. Effervescent and light in body, with a touch of malted wheat character. Subtle undertones of banana and clove. Complex flavor profile, yet excellent drinkability. Peach is prominent on the finish, while avoiding any cloying sweetness.

It’s sometimes called a candy bar in a can, but we like to think of it as a slice of paradise. During brewing, the sweetness of delicious chocolate, roasted, and caramelized malt is balanced with a touch of British hops bitterness. The King is then aged on oven-toasted coconut for several weeks to build its tropical character! Take a sip, sniff the aroma, and let your mind drift to the islands.
