Freethought Temporal
What the brewers say
“Sour ale with plum, cardamom, and rosewater.”
What our panel thought
“Earthy, soapy, mum-like floral combination creates a strange introduction; hints of tart fruit give an impression of prickly pear. Gentle plum flavors lose to assertive cardamom spiciness, and floral notes from rosewater play the role of aroma hops but add to the sense of soapiness. A beer version of a light summer cocktail.”
What our editors thought
“A sophisticated herbal cocktail evokes bitters, acid, ginger, and endlessly enthralling layers. The flavor veers toward pink grapefruit and sage—just beautiful.”
