COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Gradual Descent is our take on a rustic kellerbier. We brewed this 5.2% lager with Virginia Pils and Rye malts from Charlottesville’s Murphy & Rude, plus Bestmalz’s Vienna and Spelt malts. That multigrain medley, given an extended boil, imbues the beer with a fuller body, a slight haze, and aromatics of freshly baked dough.
These characteristics are complimented by late additions of Saphir, a newer-school German varietal that lends Gradual Descent citrus and floral qualities.
It’s a young lager, unlike anything we’ve made before, and one best enjoyed fresh.
UPDATED: DEC 23, 2021 Draft at Pizzeria Paradiso Dupont. Poured a nice, clear deep yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was pleasant grassy notes, light herbal notes. Crisp and very easy to drink. Quite enjoyable.
