What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Some nice malt sweetness. Some pepper and tartness. As it warms, a spiciness comes through mixed with the hibiscus.”

Flavor: “The flavor of this beer hits with some earthiness and pepper character. The spice notes carry through the taste. Some sweetness from the hibiscus. A little on the sweet side, but that plays well with the hibiscus. Clean tart finish. In the back sits some light malt sweetness with a little tartness. The carbonation is moderate.”

Overall: “The joy is the balance between hibiscus and saison. The moderate hibiscus and spiciness bite up front have the intensity of an IPA.”

What the Brewers Say

“Nadia Kali is an inspired saison with cross-cultural influence. Nadia’s ruby pink glow comes from a generous infusion of hibiscus, while ginger root gives it a subtle spice and a hint of woodsy maturity, and lemon peel adds a citrus tartness to keep you on your toes.”
