Hangar 24 Craft Brewery Chandelle

**Aroma:** “Mellow fruity aroma. Low sweetness, but sweet grape notes are present as is some funkiness. Low tart- ness and a juicy wine-like character.” **Flavor:** “This beer has a nice champagne-like taste with the high car- bonation. The moderate tartness with a slight sweetness transitions into a semi- dry linger that is medium lasting and a light tannic finish. As it warms, there are more grape notes. The acidic sourness is present but not overpowering. Nice lactic flavor. Mellow and rounded.” **Overall:** “An enjoyable beer, with a nice grape character. The carbonation gives it a nice mouthfeel and the tartness blends well to make it a refreshing sour beer with some aroma and taste of goat and horse blanket.”

**Aroma:** “Cloves, pine-tree pitch, grapefruit zest, and hops are evident but not bold. Wood, black pepper, grapefruit, and lemon-peel notes. Slight dank, weed aroma in the hops and a fun phenolic yeast character.” **Flavor:** “Moderate lactic acidity fades quickly into an herbal/lemony hops finish with a touch of grapefruit. Lots of hops flavor, but very slight hops bitterness. Light malt sweetness could use a little more body to support the acid. Linger has a spicy salsa-like note.” **Overall:** “A spicy, sour, and lemon beer that is very smooth tasting after the initial bite of sour. Obviously hopped but not in a way that brings them out as a novelty beer. A great example of a light touch, not trying to win the pageant with zany hops. Very clean sourness and acidity in balance with hop flavors. Relatively mild wild character paired with the light touch on hops makes this easy to enjoy.”

**Aroma:** “Big, juicy apricot and peach sweetness up front with just enough lactic tartness to support. Moderate toasty sweet malt, light caramel sweetness, light smoky phenol with black pepper.” **Flavor:** “Bold tart kick in the front with lemon and acidic tartness. The apricots come through and provide some sweetness but sit behind the lactic character in this beer. High carbonation level helps to finish this beer nicely. Tastes more like cooked apricot (apricot pie maybe) than fresh fruit.” **Overall:** “Incredible fruit character up front, like biting into an apricot, followed by a very nice, supportive tartness and funk that add to the complexity beautifully. Finish is balanced between fruit sweetness and tartness, making it a beer you want to immediately come back to for more. The Brett character is extremely well suited to the apricot, with other fruit notes contributed such as peach and pineapple.”
