PAUL, MN - (July 12, 2010) - Summit Brewing Company announces the release of their Belgian Style Golden Ale - the strongest beer yet to come out of the brewery. Created by brewer Eric Harper, and the fourth beer of Summit's limited release Unchained Series, this robust brew combines the best hops, malts, and sugars inspired by the traditional golden ales of Belgium. "Here's a beer that goes way back," said Mark Stutrud, Brewmaster and Founder of Summit Brewing Company. "Eric has done a great job creating a flavor profile of a beer the Belgians would fight over." Made with Belgian Candi Sugar, Belgian Style Golden Ale is a strong, fruity ale with a dry effervescent finish. It's also hopped with Czech Saaz and Styrian Goldings to yield wonderful spicy and floral notes.
