Commercial Description:
An organic pale ale brewed with yerba maté, source of the ancient South American tea prized for its energizing and nutritional properties. Mateveza showcases the pairing of organic yerba maté and cascade hops. Yerba maté’s earthy, herbal notes are the perfect compliment to the crisp, citrusy character of the cascade hops. Mateveza is brewed and bottled by Butte Creek Brewing Company, a gold medal winner at the 2006 Great American Beer Festival® that has been brewing organic since 1997.

22 oz bottle Bevmo Burbank. Hazy orange amber with tiny white head that dissapated to a slick. Smell is of oranges and spice. Can barely smell the mate up front. Huge mate taste though. Mate seems to cover most everything else. Bit of lemon hidden in there. The PCVs from South America will enjoy the flavor.

<i>Ale brewed with Yerba Maté...</i>

<b>12/12/2007</b>: Mateveza is a cloudy golden orange color with a thin, crackly white head. The aroma and flavor are floral, herbal, and very earthy (saplings and dried grass). Some light malt and fruit are also present, but are a bit overwhelmed by herbal, earthy, and twig-like. There is a decent level of bitterness that starts up near the finish. The finish is floral soap and perfume with some Pine-Sol like flavors. The body of this beer is medium. This is an interesting beer, but somewhat disconnected. It really isn’t my cup of Maté!

<i>22 fl. oz. bottle from 5000. Thanks! Rating #98 for this beer...</i>

650ml brown bottle. Bright yellow in colour, sizeable fluffy and rocky white head on top. Aroma is citrusy, trace of pear and peppery spice. Earthy malt base, fruity notes. Herbal, drying finish with some lingering grass and lemon/grapefruit notes. Light bodied, high carbonation.

Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours a fairly clear golden hue. Taste not good at all, nothing is wrong with organic but this taste a little to earthy. Couldn’t make it all the way through.

Taste: 8/8 Bottle. Looks: Very heady pour. Cloudy yellow body. Aroma: Candy sugar, a little green/herbal. Hops spice. Taste: Bitter/astringent, dry and lacking much body. A little spice and a metallic tinge. Medicinal, like powdered asprin.

pours a clear yellow with an orange tint, thin white head.
smell of spice, some white pepper, light orange peel, herbs.
taste is watery, spice, slight bitterness, dandelion, some citrus, mild hops, leaves the mouth dry.
not bad for an herb brew.

Near-amber golden colour, really quite bronzy. Aroma of grainy wet straw and twiggy green vegetation. Flavour is sweet pale malt with a vegetal hop quality and a subtle ginger note. Finish is dry and mildly bitter. Interesting.
