Yes, it’s still New Glarus week, despite my absence. I’ve got one NG to review tonight and one more after that before the “week” is officially over. There are many more NG beers to try, but I don’t have access to them right now, but rest assured I will cover them all in due time.
Stone Soup is one my favorite NG brews. It is now one of their year-round regulars. Most breweries keep a pale, a wheat, a stout, and maybe a brown as regulars, but not NG. Stone Soup is some kind of a belgian. I’m not sure if it really fits into any single category. It’s very light colored – as you can tell from the photo. It is incredibly fizzy like a belgian. Very sweet with a sourness to it and a light body. Think of a Trippel without the huge alcohol, or a Berlinerweiss with some malt oomph to it! It’s got some perceived lemon to it, with a dry finish. This is in essence, a Belgian session ale.
Very tasty and very refreshing. And very unique.
