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.

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.

(Draught) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a moderate white head. Aroma of ginger, tumeric, saffron, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and citrus. Flavor of citrus, cumin, pepper, tumeric, florals, yeast, and ginger. Think they threw the whole kitchen cupboard at this brew.

GABF 2009, poured by the famous Mr. Oliver himself. Brilliant golden color with a lasting white head and some lacing. Aroma is sweet malt and loads of spices, with ginger standing out, along with some light fruit notes and perfume. Flavor is sweet pale malt, light bread, banana, orange, tamarind, and a complex array of spices: ginger, clove, coriander, pepper, and others. Body is medium and carbonation is fairly lively. All in all not outstanding but very solid and interesting.

Sampled at GABF. Golden yellow pour. Kind of spicey aroma. Flavor is belgian candy and spices. Always cool to try these one off types. Pretty good, I thought.

DØE Valby 09. Pours clear pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is light malt, huge amount of spices, coriander, clove, peper, cinnamon. Flavour is sweet malt, loads of different spices. Eventhough there is lots of spices, this beer is still very well balanced.
