Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailFreya’s Gold

Freya was the Norse Goddess of war, love, fertility and beauty, and was thought to cry tears of Gold for her long absent lover, Odin. It is widely believed that she was so beautiful, no man could resist her. So, perhaps not surprisingly, with a long-absent husband, and a wealth of potential suitors, she also had a reputation for being promiscuous! We don’t like to consider her name-sake beer to be ‘promiscuous’ so much as ‘versatile’ because, much like Freya, our Kolsch-style Ale has a wealth of suitors and enjoys pairing with many of them. Freya’s Gold – Kolsch Style Ale is a light, crisp and refreshing ale. Like the traditional Kolsch style that originated in Koln, Germany, this ale goes through a long cold conditioning phase (much like a lager) to blend and smooth out the flavors. This results in a very drinkable beer with a clean body and mild flavors. Freya’s Gold is also balanced with acidulated malt and brewed with a touch of ginger to give a unique taste and drinking experience.
