Tasting Notes
Eidolon is a collaboration between our brewer, Sean Burke, and friend Sean White. A sour farmhouse ale with Meyer lemon juice and peel, jasmine green tea and flowers, and New Zealand Hallertau hops. It is then matured in wine barrels with two strains of brettanomyces.
Lots of sour and funk in this one. I found the lemon to mostly come through on the nose, while the body maintains a earthy, spicy taste. Very rich and complex. Flavors came through even more as it warmed up. Delightful.
