Afromestizo Cardamomo
This Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer is built upon a refreshing, sessionable foundation that highlights the aromatic complexity of cardamom. At 4.5% ABV, the profile is defined by the evocative spice of cardamom, which introduces notes of eucalyptus, herbal ginger, and a bright, citrusy lift. These botanical elements are thoughtfully integrated into a clean, pale malt base that offers subtle hints of cracker and light honey. The result is a balanced and uplifting experience where the distinctive cardamom character provides a sophisticated beauty to the crisp, dry finish, effectively cleansing the palate as intended by the brewer.
Appearance. Pours a clear, bright gold to light amber (5-8 SRM) with a frothy, bone-white head that demonstrates moderate retention and fine-beaded lacing.
Aroma. High intensity cardamom aroma dominates, offering a complex blend of menthol, floral spice, and woody resins. A low, grainy-sweet malt character supports the spice, while hop aroma remains very low to allow the botanical notes to lead. Clean fermentation profile.
Taste. The flavor is centered on the pungent, herbal, and slightly citrusy character of cardamom. A light, crackery malt sweetness provides a brief initial impression before the spice takes over. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, providing balance without adding harshness. The finish is dry and crisp, with a lingering, pleasant spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that creates a prickly, refreshing sensation on the tongue. Smooth texture with no perceivable alcohol warmth or spice-derived astringency.
