Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailThe Mandarin

The Mandarin is a light ale brewed with traditional Asian ingredients. We started with red rice and a pound per barrel of dried goji berries in the mash for a bright cereal note and a savory fruitiness. We then add Mandarin hops to bring a tangerine and citrus note. The beer is finished with a dusting of traditional Chinese five spice and dry hopped with imported Golden Yunnan tea for a floral, spicy, elegant tea note.
