Serpent is the result of an extraordinary collaboration between Brooklyn Brewery and Thornbridge, two breweries united in pushing the boundaries of fermentation. This Belgian golden ale at 9.5% ABV was aged in Four Roses bourbon casks and fermented with wild yeast strains derived from cider. The outcome is a complex, dry and funky beer that blurs the line between ale and cider.

Serpent reveals layers of apple, old vinous notes and honey, interspersed with a gentle tartness. The wild fermentation leaves its mark throughout, with funky, yeasty character that challenges the palate. Light to medium-bodied with pleasant, effervescent carbonation, the beer carries its alcohol warmth gracefully despite its strength.
