eXile #2 – The drum roll please….
Written by Dave Benfield
May 28th, 2010

Tomorrow at the MD Brewer’s Springfest in Frederick we will be unveiling our second release in our eXile series.  eXile Batch #2 is a…..Imperial Belgian Wit (yep Sawtooth’s big brother, hence the big bad wolf hints.  I know, very sly of me).  It is just above 7% abv, with quite nice spicing, but man is it drinkable.  So if you ever find yourself on a hot day and thought “boy, I wish I had a high alcohol beer that was awesome and quenched my thirst”, well we have the beer for you. So come out tomorrow to the Springfest and get the first taste before it goes on tap at the units.  Oh, the units tap date, almost forgot.  That would be Thursday June 10th, 11am.

And speaking of the Springfest, we have one hell of a lineup of vintage beers.  We are bringing 16 beers in all.  Here is the list:

1) 2009 Mayhem

2) 2008 13 Degrees

3) 2007 31

4) 2005 Repent

5) 2007 Sawtooth

6) 2006 Devil’s Milk

7) 2008 Naked Fish

8) 2008 Blackout

9) 2006 Blackjack Stout

10) 2009 Pax Nemesis

11) 2008 Twisted Kilt

12) 2007 Mad Bishop

13) 2010 Serum Double IPA

14) 2004 Misery Wheat Wine

15) eXile #1 Imperial Chocolate Rye Porter

16) eXile #2 Imperial Wit

    Oh it is. It has a bit more coriander than Sawtooth, and a slight bit more body in my opinion. But, you could never guess it is 7%.

    Cheers,

    Went to Springfest and I have to say it was another great yer. I tried the Imperial Wit and it was bad ass. Smooth and easy to drink and perfect on a hot day, would have never guessed it was 7%. I missed a lot of the others on tap, but had one that you didn’t metion above: a cask of Bad Moon Porter w/ Molasses. Bad Moon Porter was my favorite staple beer on tap and I was very sad to see it go. This one didn’t disappoint, and the extra molasses flavor really made it more robust and in your face. Thanks for the great beers, can’t wait until Octoberfest.
