TASTING NOTES

Intensely scented Osmanthus flowers perfume a delicate black tea directly imported by QXY and lend supple, heady notes of peach blossoms and nectarine to a honeyed base of lightly kilned lager malt with a deft handful of herbal, spicy Perle hops. Reminiscent of warm, spice-ladened breezes across verdant tea fields and the soft pater of floral scented raindrops.

SECRET Name

Sī Fáng, which loosely translates to “Secret Recipe”, is an International style pale lager brewed with Black Tea and Osmanthus flowers made in collaboration with our friends at Qing Xian Yuan (lovingly shortened to QXY).

Pronunciation is “zee” not the Spanish “sí”. “Fáng” has a soft “a.” Like “fawn” with a g at the end
