COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Chef Floyd Cardoz and brewmaster Garrett Oliver have combined their inspirations to bring you Brooklyn Cuvée de Cardoz. This golden wheat beer starts with a base of malted barley and unmalted wheat and then builds upon it a delicate balance of exotic spices selected by Chef Cardoz and then toasted and ground in the kitchens at Tabla. Ginger, tamarind, mace, black pepper, coriander, fennel, fenugreek, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and chilies are added in the kettle, and then the beer is infused with toasted coconut after the fermentation. Combined with our yeast and light hopping, these spices give the beer a gentle, complex perfume, a full fruity palate, and long, drying finish with a very faint prickle of heat.

yngwie (10754) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUN 28, 2009
On tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival, served by the brewer. An almost clear, a bit pale golden, with a small white head. Spiced, citrusy nose, rather sugary. Citrus, wheat malt and a nice hop dose giving citrus and some resin. Medium body, dry, with a nice co2 level. Nice finish with some sugars to deal with the bitterness and spices. A well-crafted, quenching beer. (090516)
