What the brewers say
“Golden State of Mind is a unique creation. We have called it a "California Tea Beer" due to its construction using local California ingredients, from the oats, barley, and wheat to the fresh coriander, chamomile, and sweet orange peel. Golden State of Mind is also a Gruit – meaning it is made without hops.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Light citrus with an herbal spiciness and light honey sweetness. Low rice and vanilla aromas as it starts to warm. The herbal tea notes come through as well with light pear, plum, and a touch of cinnamon.”
Flavor: “Light and crisp. Moderate herbal flavor with light bitterness toward the end. Low spiciness mixes with the carbonation, which creates a light bite at the end. A very delicate malt character is almost hidden by the fruity/floral character.”
Overall: “Refreshing and crisp beer with moderate herbal and tea flavors, light citrus, and a medium carbonic bite at the end of the sip. Tastes like a grown-up version of sun tea. Great for non-beer drinkers.”
