Deep Ellum Brewing Co. Deep Summer

Aroma: “Lemon, orange peel, and hibiscus with a light yogurt-like tartness. Some caramel and light toasty malt thrown in for good measure.”

Flavor: “Moderate spiciness with mild orange, lemon, and cherry fruitiness. Hints of lemongrass and a subtle, floral, chamomile that complements the hibiscus. Slightly sweet but clean malt bill with just enough hops to balance. Moderate carbonic bite at the end, but finishes tart and dry.”

Overall: “Refreshing and thirst- quenching, this beer does a nice job keeping the floral additions subtle. It would be easy to overdo this.”
