12 oz. Bottle
This is probably one of the strangest brews I've ever picked up: "A white beer brewed with orange slices, lemongrass, coriander, and peppercorns."
Pours incredibly light gold, very transparent, with carbonation incredibly present visually, and about a quarter of an inch of white head. Some nice sweet notes off the nose, I'm definitely getting the orange and lemongrass. There's a bit of freshness, possibly the coriander, though it's tough to tell with all the flavor in the nose. You get a bit of the spice at the end, lingering lightly. A really pleasing beer on the nose.
My first though upon sipping this beer is how drinkable it is - there's a decent amount of sweetness to this beer from the orange, but it's definitely not overpowering. I'm getting a little lemongrass and coriander freshness towards the middle, and a mild dry spicy finish (the spice seems to take the background at the beginning of the sip and really shines in the finish). Carbonation is incredibly evident on taste - adds to the almost sharp character of the beer when combined with the spiced finish from the peppercorn. Alcohol presence, at 4.8% ABV is essentially non-existent.
A really strange, yet tasty combination. The refreshing element of this beer feels like it should be disrupted by the pepper/carbonated "snap" of the finish, but it isn't.
This beer is worth a shot at least once. I'm not sure that I'd ever go looking specifically for this one again though.
Overall Rating: 3.75/5
