Freemason Golden Ale Pairing Guide: Perfect Cigar Matches from The Epitome

Discover the flavor profile of Freemason Golden Ale and explore expert cigar pairings from The Epitome, including Ecuadorian Connecticut & Dominican Puro.

Freemason Golden Ale Profile

  • Style: Light-bodied golden/cream ale brewed with American 2-Row, Munich, white wheat, and corn

  • Flavor Notes: Soft mouthfeel, subtle sweetness from corn and malt; finishes with bright citrus from late American hop additions

    Pairing Principle

    Light, creamy golden ales typically mesh best with mild to medium-bodied cigars that complement without overpowering. The subtle sweetness and citrus echo well with cigars featuring honeyed, nutty, or cedar-forward notes

    Epitome Cigar Pairing Suggestions

    1. Epitome Ecuadorian Connecticut

    A smooth and creamy cigar—featuring cedar, sweet cream, and almond notes—this cigar mirrors the ale’s soft, malty sweetness and citrus hints, creating a balanced and harmonious pairing.

    2. Epitome Dominican Puro

    Mild and nuanced with earthy tones and soft spice. Its complexity is gentle enough to align with the ale's mellow profile while offering a refined contrast.
