New Belgium Lips of Faith Super Cru Brewed with Asian Pear Juice 22oz Bottle This is another big and strong beer (10%abv). A little like Fat Tire (by way of grain bills and such) but way (way) bigger and spiced with Asian Pear (looks like an apple but tastes like a pear (but crunches like an apple)) to bring out the natural green apple-ey esters bursting from the beer. This beer is for you to drink and help us celebrate our 20th year. That's right, June 2011 marks 20 years of the beer making and selling for New Belgium. In that 20 years we have gone from a basement operation to the third largest craft brewer in the country, and without your help (you know, drinking our beer) that never would have happened. So thank you dear friend and fan. So tip back a Super Cru with some friends and think about the last 20 years; think about how much more stylish you are now versus then, but know your tastes in beer have always been spectacular. Super Cru is a big, beautiful double version of Fat Tire Amber Ale, doubling the malt bill and hop profile of the traditional version. To accentuate the fresh apple ester of Fat Tire, New Belgium added Asian pear juice and tweaked it further with a saison yeast. Super Cru opens with a big bready nose, rolls from floral hop to earthy malt and finishes with a touch of clove. Super Cru is 10% ABV and is available in 22-ounce bombers
