Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Caldera Brewing Company Rose
Petal Imperial Golden Ale - Brewed with Rose Petals and Rose Water Added.
From the Caldera Brewing Company website: “Rose Petal
Imperial Golden Ale is like a party at Grandma’s house, with the intense,
aromatic fragrance of roses. Brewed with real rose petals and Bulgarian rose
water.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
golden orange with an off-white head and loads of lacing.
Aroma: Very
floral, rose is dominant with sweet, pale and bready malts and a touch of
spice.
Taste: Floral
notes take center stage with huge rose notes, sweet and pale malts and a
peppery spice.
Overall: I found Caldera
Brewing Company Rose Petal Imperial Golden Ale to be very interesting. This
6.7% ABV beer isn’t something I would drink regularly, but for those intrigued
by the addition of rose petals and Bulgarian rose water I’d say go for it. Not
a drain pour by any means. I liked it.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
