Blood red Belgian ale with hibiscus flowers and herbs
Shark Week begins on Sunday, July 23rd! Our resident Shark Fanatic/Brewer, Lee Lord, joined the rest of the Brew Crew at CBC to create this special single-batch beer. What began as a simple blonde ale quickly turned blood red from the frenzied (!) additions of Hibiscus flowers, Elderberry, and Beet powder. Additional flavor was contributed by Lemongrass, Lemon Balm, and Lemon Verbena, offering a very subtle citrusy and herbal character.
With an obvious nod to Boston low-rocker pioneers Morphine, this beer is full-bodied up front, and finishes dry and refreshing. So don’t worry about the Day-Glo orange life preserver (it won’t save you), just grab a beer and enjoy the summer!
