Episode # 387: Baobiere

Life On Tap

Following a gathering in Montclair, Dan picked up a mixed case from Montclair Brewery. Leading off? Baobiere, a golden ale with baobab fruit.

Montclair Brewery Baobiere

STYLE: Golden Ale
INGREDIENTS: Baobab Fruit
ABV: 7.8%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 12 oz. cans/Draft (Year-Round)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.

Appearance

Beautiful gold in color with a half-inch, white, foamy head.

Aroma

Grainy malt immediately followed by elements of muddled nectarine, plum, and sweet lychee.

Taste

Fruit character continues on the palate with a moderate sweetness, with the baobab fruit providing a depth and complexity.

Mouthfeel

This has the weight/body/mouthfeel of 7.8% beer, but it drinks way easier.

Overall

I am glad this comes in 12-ounce cans, because its alcohol is super well-hidden. Pairing-wise, so many different ways to go, but marinated or spiced meat/poultry dishes or jack fruit would be mad tasty. Don’t stop there, and go for carnitas, pad thai, or beyond.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
