BFM La Douze
La Douze was originally brewed as BFM's 12th Anniversary Ale. It is a Golden Ale brewed with Fleur de sel, "flower of salt." Fleur de sel is a hand harvested sea salt that is collected off the coast of Brittany, France. The marsh land allows for salt fields to be installed, shallow pans throughout the grass. The water rushes into the pans and the day's sun evaporates the water, leaving the pure salt crystals.
The flavor of this beer is definitely "well seasoned." The mineral flavor of the salt is present, but not overwhelming. It is also slightly bitter with hints of coriander and the Amarillo hop coming through.
Pair this beer with 5 Spoke Tumbleweed, a sharp Cantal-style cheese from New York!
