...That's different

[GregT5]

A mate suggested I try a brew using the spice, cardamom.

 

I put down the following:

 

OS Lager tin

1kg LDM

20g Cardamom pods & seeds, crushed & steeped for 30 mins

 

I was looking at a fairly bland beer to see what the cardamom would bring to the brew, instead of hops.

 

When I bottled it the flavour & aroma were very faint, almost non-existent.

 

After 5 weeks in the bottle we tried one today watching the footy.

I must say the flavour & aroma have improved since bottling & it is a very nice, tasty beer. The cardamom gives it an almost sweet, spicy flavour & the aroma is very spicy also.

 

I certainly wouldn't make it a regular beer in my stocks, it is a good beer to have when you still want a beer but are looking for something different.

Sounds interesting Greg. I love Cardomom in tea

It's an interesting flavour - almost (very subtle) lemon like.

 

It might even work in something like a weizen.
