Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailFresh Start

Spring is truly a time of rebirth in the agrarian state of Iowa. The season lifts spirits out of the winter doldrums and sends farmers back into the fields full of optimism for a new crop. Spring is also a great time to take a refreshing break from the heavy, high-alcohol winter brews. Fresh Start is part of a new trend that takes an age-old pale ale recipe and lagers it, creating a lighter, crisper beer that still has some hop bite to it. Pilsen, Vienna and Caramel 10L malts create a lightly sweet malt profile that is beautifully balanced with Amarillo and Crystal hops. The light citrus and subtle grass flavors from the hops remind us of the eagerly awaited spring.
