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 #48 - Star of the North


Brewery - August Schell Brewing Company, New Ulm, Minnesota

Beer - Star of the North

Style - Berliner Weisse

ABV - 3.5%

Color - Cloudy pale yellow with a white head

Aroma - Graham crackers, lemony citrus, earthy, sweet spice

Flavor - Brief yeasty dough, big bright tartness that's a cross of lemon and cranberry takes over, a bit of sourdough bread and minimal bitterness in the finish

Verdict - This is a wonderful, light, refreshing Berliner Weisse that is everything I expect from this type of brew. The low (and true to style) ABV allows you to enjoy the whole bottle of this sessionable beer by yourself if you want, but it might be nice to share this experience with somebody else...
