Artic Cloudberry Imperial Wheat - a tribute to the heart of winter!

This limited release beer was brewed at the Rehoboth Beach brewpub with over 250 lbs of precious CLOUDBERRIES!  We used the finest wheat malt to complement their tart character, and 2005 Sterling hops to enhance their spice.

Cloudberries grow on boggy land in the cold northern climates of Scandinavia, Siberia, and Canada, as well as the Arctic Circle, and are one of the most delicious and costly of all berries because of their limited growing area. Because they lack the warmth, the berries ripen slowly, allowing the flavor to develop to an extraordinary intensity and sweetness tasting almost like honeyed apples.

 They are highly-prized in Scandinavian countries, where they are made into jams, fruit soups, and desserts. In fact, they are so valued in northern Scandinavia where Finland, Sweden, and Norway meet; the cloudberry has long been the cause of "cloudberry wars". These otherwise peace-loving countries have been known to become quite territorial when it comes time to harvest this berry, causing the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs to develop a special section just for cloudberry diplomacy!
