Small Beer: Mugwort, Finland
3.3
Homebrew #2. Small Beer series #27 actually. This time mugwort flavored. Sounds green... The color of the beer is cloudy amber. The carbonation is abrupt and settles down quickly. A dense moussy head reaches two fingers and descends to a still thick lacing. The nose... (omg 😬)... mugwort. Oh yes. Mugwort it is. Not nice. I couldn't necessarily remember what mugwort smells like but now that I smell the beer, it can't be mistaken for anything else. Like I said, I don't necessarily fancy this "green" nuance but I'm still glad that mugwort is present here. Pretty ample, actually. The taste scares me. Gosh. Do I have to dive to the deepest end right away? I will have to. And I will. Okay. The tastebuds receive... mugwort. Milder than that in the fragrance. But still recognizable. A bit lemony undertone with a dash of grass. Fruitier than what I expected. The body is light but not skinny. The finish doesn't change the path. Same same. The mouthfeel is light, herbal, gardeny and somewhat green. Not my favorite but manageable. And better.
