茉莉-芙蓉夏季啤酒品尝
该批次开始于同一批次的下半年 基础啤酒 那 produced the 希瑟·格鲁特; the only difference between the two was 那 they had different 添加鲜花 at bottling. It is amazing how much impact the flowers have on the entire character of the beer, from the appearance 到 flavor.
芙蓉是一朵有趣的花(萼片 technically, i.e the part of the flower 那 isn't the petal), widely used in beverages around the equator. 的 most notable characteristic is the bright red color the dried flowers impart to whatever liquid they are steeped in. 的 flavor of hibiscus is tart and cranberry like, making it an interesting addition to either a refreshing summer beer, or a holiday beer.
茉莉花的香气最常在冲泡前散布到绿茶中(尽管我也已经看到它们包含在茶叶中)。 挥发性化合物非常细腻,因此应尽可能在后期添加茉莉花。 brewing process is a good idea.
我真的很满意这种口味,但是当天气如此沉闷时,清淡/水果的味道很难完全欣赏。
茉莉花芙蓉夏季啤酒
出现 – Talk about a red ale! (Although if pushed I'd have to call it more pink than red). Almost clear, with a slight haze 那 will 希望随着年龄的增长而退学。头部紧/白,徘徊了几分钟。
闻 – Tart berry aroma with some floral aspects. 的 jasmine comes off slightly soapy, but the fruity hibiscus takes the lead. 的re isn't much of the yeast or 麦芽 character I smelled in the heather/lavender half of the batch.
味道 – Smooth and mild with a slight tartness 那 is only marginally stronger than the other half of the batch. This one tastes cleaner as well, it makes me wonder how much of 那 rustic character was the yeast and how much was the heather. Light cranberry flavor makes it really quenching. Subtle bready 麦芽 lets you know it isn't a “malt” beverage.
口感 –中等轻度的身体,中等碳酸。这可能需要更多的碳酸化作用。这样,spritzy补充了淡/脆啤酒。
饮用性& 笔记 – This 将 be a great summer beer (not 那 I'm looking forward 到 hot season here in DC). 的 lack of bitterness makes this something 那 can be drank quickly, while the flowers and slight tartness keep it balanced.
