MISTRAL
BREWING QUALITY
Mistral is a new flavor variety from France. It is made with a large addition of Niwot-grown
crystal and cascade hops added in a hop-back after the boil to infuse as much aroma as
possible. This beer has a massive juicy pear, herbal, and citrus hop aroma. These characteristics
carry into the flavor where just enough bready and caramel malt character back them up. Due
to all of the unfiltered-hoppy goodness left in suspension, this beer finishes with a pleasant
lingering bitterness. Fruity notes of orange,
citrus fruits, passion fruit, mango and kumquat.
From the aroma forth it goes towards passion fruit, kumquat and mango. This is of course
suitable for a Pale Ale, a Mistrale, cold-laid light Lager. Ideal for the late boiling or dry hopping.
