Commercial Description:
Chef Floyd Cardoz and brewmaster Garrett Oliver have combined their inspirations to bring you Brooklyn Cuvée de Cardoz. This golden wheat beer starts with a base of malted barley and unmalted wheat and then builds upon it a delicate balance of exotic spices selected by Chef Cardoz and then toasted and ground in the kitchens at Tabla. Ginger, tamarind, mace, black pepper, coriander, fennel, fenugreek, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and chilies are added in the kettle, and then the beer is infused with toasted coconut after the fermentation. Combined with our yeast and light hopping, these spices give the beer a gentle, complex perfume, a full fruity palate, and long, drying finish with a very faint prickle of heat.

Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2009, Valby. Poured and presented by Mr. Garrett Oliver himself. Pours a clear yellow beer with a white head. Very good appearance. The aroma is spices, sweetness and coconut. The flavor is complex and balanced. The palate is nice spiced and has a slight hint of chili. Overall a very good beer.

I got a growler of this from Stony Brook Beverage! I knew this was going to be quite an experience from reading the description they had posted in the store, but I had no idea my pallet could taste so many different things in one sip. This is a wild brew, but great when paired with the right food. I thoroughly enjoyed it with my sushi dinner. Very unique and well worth it if you are the daring type.

This one poured a nice cloudy yellow/orange color with an off white head. Aroma was fresh cut hops, lots of different spices, and some yeasty notes as well. Flavor was extremely complex, clove, cinnamon, citrus, floral hops and other things that I couldnt pick up but there was certainly more there. Alcohol was also hiddewn very well. I would have guess 5-6. A very differnet and unique brew that I would actively seek out

Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells of coriander, ginger, some licorice, sweet wheat. Tastes of dry malt, spicy, full bodied. Enjoyable.

Tap @ Trappeze Pub, GA. pours hazy golden, white head. aroma is yeasty, grainy with a nice clove aroma and notes of citrus hops. taste, sweet almost honey, clove, yeasty with a lot of spices, especially the nutmeg and coriander creating a mesh of flavors on the palate. Pepper seems to come through toward the end as well as some citrus elements.

Wow. I thought this would be a bad combo but it really works. The spices balance out so you don’t get a huge hit of any and it plays well with the base beer.

Draught at Tyler’s Taproom in Apex, NC. Pours golden, medium white head. Aroma is yeast, a lot of spice, but so complex, that it is hard to identify flavors. Flavor is similar, a nice bit of alcohol in aftertaste, subtle coconut (which is actually much better than I thought it would be), and very spicy, I can at least now identify some peper, cinnamon, coriander, and perhaps some clove. Nice beer.

Snifter @ Tyler’s Apex. Good aroma, sweet, spice. Wheat, ton of spice, coriander cinnamon. Orangy gold color, good head, faded to a ring, spotty lace. Spiced yeasty flavor, like aroma, maybe more of the yeast than wheat. Has a sharp bite about it. Lite body, creamy mouthfeel, dry finish. Maybe it was my mood, but this hit the spot, a lot going on with this one.
