Fermenting at cool temperatures with ale yeast causes a stress-reaction leading to a clean flavor coupled with a rich and full mouthfeel.\u00a0\u00a0 As a test, we fermented our Slow-Fermented Brown Ale recipe normally and also at a lower temperature just above the yeast\u2019s tolerance. The results were remarkable. A testament to the importance of yeast to a beer\u2019s flavor, the slow-fermented version has a gentle creaminess that balances perfectly with the soft caramel overtones of the brown ale recipe, ending in a crazy smooth finish. It is a difficult and touchy beer to make, but we are hooked on the results!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All Switchback beers are brewed in Burlington, Vermont and are carbonated during fermentation by the yeast itself resulting in a 100% naturally conditioned beer.

Using only traditional ingredients, Switchback Ale is an unfiltered, reddish-amber ale which is particularly well-balanced, allowing for complexity of flavor coupled with an unusually smooth and refreshing character. Five different malts, select hop varieties, and our own specially cultivated yeast create an ale which leads with hop fl\u00acavors and a subtle impression of fruit (our yeast\u2019s contribution), followed by a palate pleasing malty finish.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All Switchback beers are brewed in Burlington, Vermont and are carbonated during fermentation by the yeast itself resulting in a 100% naturally conditioned beer.
