Captain Lawrence Hops N’ Roses

From Captain Lawrence – Liquid Gold aged in wine barrels with Hibiscus, Rose Hips, and Elder Flowers

Captain Lawrence Brewing – Captain Lawrence Hops N’ Roses – 750 ml. bottle poured into a goblet. 5.5% abv.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy peachy rose color, with quickly subsided head action.

Aroma: Rose porpuri, ripe berry and spicy funk.

Taste: Earthy bitterness, floral, tannic. Finishes funky and tart.

Mouthful: A tad chalky, full bodied, modest carbonation.

Overall: Fun to try, but I prefer no fruit or fruit sours over botanicals.
