Almanac Mandarina

Rated 99 at RateBeer.com.COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONMandarina Bavaria hops are Germany¡¯s answer to the bold vivacious US varieties found in West Coast-style brews. This hop is the daughter of Cascade and Hallertau combining characteristic New World citrus flavors and aromas with the subtle spice of German noble hops. We blended our wine barrel-aged sour blonde ale with foeder-fermented brett saison to craft a complex base of stone fruit oak and earthy funk to compliment the tangerine and lime-like character of Mandarina. Each sip teases a new flavor from grass to grapefruit to peaches and finishes crisp and dry.
