Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

Beer Brief #47 - L.S.D. Honey Ale


Brewery - Indeed Brewing Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Beer - L.S.D. Honey Ale

Style - Fruit beer made with lavender, sunflower honey, and dates

ABV - 7.2%

IBU - 20

Color - Hazy copper with an off white head

Aroma - Honey, lavender is powerful and dominates, touch of molasses?

Flavor - Sweet malt, flowers (lavender), light but fitting date flavor, spicy hops, mild bitterness

Verdict - This is my second time drinking this brew, and I love it just as much as I remember. The lavender is powerful, yet meshes so well with the other flavors that the level of floral character seems perfect. I've never had another beer like it.
