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 #16 - Seizoen Bretta


Brewery - Logsdon Farmhouse Ales, Hood River, Oregon

Beer - Seizoen Bretta
Style - Farmhouse Ale fermented with brettanomyces
ABV - 8%
Color - Cloudy orange with a sticky, off-white head
Aroma - Hay, apricots, old leather, and a hint of sourness
Flavor - Brief stone fruit sweetness, funky, earthy and minerally, lemon tartness, metallic bitterness and dry finish
Verdict - Wow. This is a complex and delicious wild ale. If you dig some funk and a touch of sour in your Belgian farmhouse ales, you definitely need to see if you can get some of this! I had to fly to Oregon to get it...
