A full, secondary fermentation was spurred on by the addition of yellow peaches. Then the beer was treated with Hibiscus flowers and Lemon Grass. The result is a ruby hewed, citrusy, herbal, and sweet-tart beer with more layers of complexity than an artisanal croissant.2022-09-2009 minThe Explorium Brewpub Podcast: Explore. Taste.
