Eagle Silver Dragon is a captivating sour/wild beer crafted by the talented brewers at Deep Creek Brewing in Nelson, New Zealand. This Belgian Golden Strong Ale pours a clear, golden-amber color, topped with a fluffy white head that showcases excellent retention. The aroma is an enticing blend of ripe fruits, such as pear, apple, and apricot, intertwined with subtle notes of clove, nutmeg, and coriander. A hint of honey sweetness adds to the overall complexity, creating a delightful and inviting bouquet. Upon the first sip, the taste reveals a harmonious balance of fruity esters and spicy phenolics. Flavors of sweet malt, citrus, and stone fruits dominate the palate, complemented by a gentle bitterness from the hops. The notes of clove, nutmeg, and coriander enhance the flavor profile without overpowering it. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with a creamy, velvety texture. The lively carbonation provides a refreshing contrast to the sweet flavors, creating a well-rounded and enjoyable drinking experience. Despite its 4.5% ABV, the alcohol content is well-hidden, making this beer perfect for sipping and savoring on special occasions or when you're in the mood for a full-flavored and satisfying brew.
