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 #43 - Love Child No. 3


Brewery - Boulevard Brewing Company, Kansas City, Missouri

Beer - Love Child No. 3

Style - Bourbon barrel-aged wild ale

ABV - 9.5%

IBUs - 13

Color - Cloudy copper with a creamy off-white head

Aroma - Earthy, tobacco, woody spice, vanilla, a bit of cherry

Flavor - Caramel and vanilla briefly, cranberry tartness with earthy funk, dry finish with pithy citrus peel bitterness

Verdict - I really enjoy this brew. It has a perfect amount of tartness to go with the sweetish start and lovely funk, and maintains a nice balance that doesn't become overpowering (at least not for me).
