Homebrew time! I have three new beers in my Small Beer series, they are always flavored with natural herbs or uncommon berries. I have created as many as 25 different versions. The list of edible, reasonably tasting plants is getting really short, I will have to move to an unpredictable sphere soon. Or now. This beer has been seasoned with Lady's Mantle (= Alchemilla). Definitely not my everyday diet. The color is not what I anticipate: relatively foggy, deep gold. Looks actually more appealing than what I was prepared for. The carbonation is rich and starts pushing foam out of the bottle gradually after uncapping the bottle. Nothing dramatic though. An off-white, soapy head exceeds three fingers and settles down soon. The olfactory universe is composed of grassy and fruity elements. Surprisingly fruity, as a matter of fact. I'm spotting orange and apricot with a balancing weight of grass. Not bad at all. Rather pleasant, to be honest. The taste lifts up the floral side that, interestingly, remains camouflaged in the scent. Only moderately grassy this time. But yes, a floral note on the tongue. Nothing flamboyant, rather down to earth it is. Obviously the plant itself, Lady's Mantle. I have never really smelled it, so I can't tell. The taste of the plant itself is far less enjoyable than what I experience now in the beer. The other flavors are lemon, orange peel and green tea. Alright. The body is light. The finish portrays very little of anything, just remnants of the actual taste. A bit of citrus with a floral twist. The citrus survives the longest. The mouthfeel is light, floral, herbal, slightly drying and balanced. Interesting indeed! I expected that this would be close to terrible but it actually proves to be nice. Would surely work beautifully in the sauna. It's a pity that I only have two more bottles left.
