BURLINGTON, Wash. — Garden Path Fermentation announces the release of their newest beer, The Gentle Hint of Smoke, a Lichtenhainer-inspired native yeast ale brewed with maple-smoked barley and native Garryana oak-smoked barley and conditioned with local blackberry honey.
As the title indicates, this beer brings a mildly smoky note atop a lightly nutty, oaky base beer that ends with a moderately tart, dry finish. Balanced, nuanced, and complex, The Gentle Hint of Smoke demonstrates Garden Path’s dedication to carefully showcasing local flavors via thoughtful craftsmanship.
This beer will be available for sale by the glass and by the bottle at Garden Path’s taproom beginning Friday, January 8, 2021 as well as throughout the region and beyond.
