TRVE Brewing Ostara (2017)

Aroma: “Lemongrass aroma with light vegetable notes. Light bready malt. Faint peppery phenols with citrus lemon and melon.”

Flavor: “Delicate and refreshing, the tartness hits up front with notes of lemon but fades through the taste. Fresh lemongrass emerges with a slight candy sweetness and carries through. Light in body, but it has enough flavor to keep it interesting. Finishes with a touch of melon.”

Overall: “Big fun fruit notes and a good balance. This is a relatively complex beer that manages to seem simple and be refreshing. As it warms the flavors come into balance with lemongrass and light vegetable, which is probably the dandelion.”
