Surly CynicAle Available

Fresh from the Surly, cans of their new CynicAle are available exclusively at Papa's Pizza and Pasta. Eventually, the beer will make it out to liquor stores, and will officially launch in bars next Tuesday at Grumpy's. And, it says on the site, "Rumor is that some cask Bitter Brewer might be there too!" If you haven't had the chance to try the one-time release Bitter Brewer, and you like great beer, you best find it before it's all gone. A delicious, drinkable bitter.

The CynicAle will be available from Memorial Day to Labor Day and is described thusly: "Brewed with Belgian malted barley, this copper hued ale is brewed in the Belgian Saison style. A unique Belgian yeast strain creates the spicy flavor and imported hops lend the apricot/peach aroma." It also reports a modest IBU of 38 and an abv of 6.6%.

As saison is easily my favorite style, I can't wait to see how Surly interprets it.
