LION’S GRASS ~ HIGHLANDER BREWING

Lion Grass is a Golden Ale made with lemon grass and dandelion leaves, from one of Ontario’s most northerly craft brewers. The beer poured a golden colour with a good sized fluffy white head. The head had good retention and left foamy lacing. The nose had grain, malts, a hint of lemon and a floral earthiness. The flavour was very similar to the nose, lots of grainy malt up front and then a hop bitterness (cascade) that is complimented with the herbal bitterness of the dandelion leaves. I wish the lemon grass had been a little more detectable. It had medium carbonation and mouthfeel. I liked the balance between the malts and the herbals in this beer, it would make good drinking on a hot day.
