Dave's BrewFarm Temporum Apis


Temporum Apis, "Season of the Bee", 7.7 % ABV. Pale and Caramunich III malts. Phoenix and Select hops with a late addition of clover honey and fermented with a Biere de Garde yeast.

Appearance: Clear, deep crimson coloring, light tan head, well-dotted, lacy.

Aroma: malty and sweet. Dark malts with honey on the side.

Taste: Ah! Beautiful! Here's where the Biere de Garde yeast comes into play. Fruity flavors reveal themselves, and flower along with the honey. We've got some apple, some raisin, a bit of grape and berry. Orange, too. A little lemon. Oh, this is tasty stuff.

Medium finish, medium body, easy drinker. Nothing too crazy and complex, just your average crazy hybrid honey Franco-Belgian (-German-American??) beer from the LaBrewatory. My favorite kind.
