This mixed culture table beer was brewed using water infused with a large quantity of locally grown lilac, as well as NYS pilsner and wheat malt. It was fermented in stainless steel with our House Bloomfield Culture, before being further conditioned upon more freshly picked flowers. This offering is light and delicate with bright acidity and presents subtle floral aromatics.

Clear pale gold with a thin white head that quickly super fizzes away to nothingness. Modest effervescence and no lacing.

Mildly funky, lightly floral aroma.

Fairly clean tasting with lemon citrus standing out the most. Maybe a hint of apricot. None of the cheesy funk from the nose, but some light grass. Mineral or clay finish.

On the light side of medium bodied with some soft fizz.

Medium to low acidity and clean tart flavors. Drinks quite nice, although I’d never peg it for lilac if tasted blind. The color is beautiful, but it’s somewhat over-carbonated and lacks a real head.
