I know that some of you will read my posts and be interested in the beers, hoping to get yourself a taste of it, too. I have to disappoint you with this one. I picked it up on the final BrewFarm date of the year. Dave will close for 2 months to pursue projects in Cambodia. Maybe there's some left in January? Let's go there and find out. Meanwhile, these notes.
Dave's BrewFarm Hibiscus Lager. 6.1% ABV. Bottled on October 27, 2017, purchased 10/29. Consumed 11/5.
Clear-ish, crimson colored, beautiful ivory head, with a slight pinkish tint, soon to crumble.
In the nose: fresh, vibrant, flowery. Lovely.
In the mouth: Starts out with a palate-gripping slight tartness, then that fades and all is smooth and mild. Some graininess in the texture. Hibiscus flavor brightens up the mouth on the regular. Nice hoppiness keeps it interesting, lively, and fun. Light-bodied, easy drinker, soft finish.
"Another in the botanical series, using lager yeast, couple with Pils and Ashore Mild malts, Mount Hood and Nugget hops, and a late addition of hibiscus flowers. Pretty beer."
