Baird Asian Beauty Biwa Ale

Hazy orange-brown color. Malty nose with faint hints of biwa. Light body, some mild biwa notes, but a bit thin and sour.

My Bottom Line:
The spicy, wooden personality of the hops used flow into the loquat’s own intrinsic qualities, ending in a resinous, earthy hop bitterness on which orangey fruitiness leaks wisely. Hoppier than most Baird fruit beers, and definitely as enjoyable.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the hazy pale orange.
-Effervescence is smooth and the body is healthy, providing another classic über-drinkable Baird mouthfeel.
-Caramel maltiness appears within the fruitiness, and balance is reached.
-This one is no different from other Baird fruit beers quality-wise.
