Yerba mate is a nearly mythical herb from South America that, for centuries, has been consumed in place of tea as an infusion for its energizing effects. Our white beer base, which we use to develop our Infusée, benefits from a rather original infusion. Mate’s somewhat bitter, slightly herbaceous and almost woody flavours are balanced by the floral softness of chamomile and a hint of lemon.

Sipdown (806)!
I think this beer has been in my fridge for months now, and I just finally decided that today felt like the right time to drink it. It’s been a while because this is a yerba mate and chamomile infused beer and, just… who decided that those two things go together!? I wasn’t sure if this would feel energizing or calming or neither so I never knew when was the appropriate time to crack it open.
It’s actually not too bad – I spent most of the day today in bed with a headache just listening to very mellow music and drinking herbal teas, but I found this quite refreshing. It’s a light beer, with more of a mellow but crisp citrusy note to it. I actually taste some of the chamomile, and that’s normally a flavour I don’t love but the sweet floral hay-ish and appley notes actually work very nicely in combination with beer. No yerba mate, though.
Couldn’t drink this often – I tend to reach for dark beers/stouts and this is decidedly not that. However, cut it with a little grapefruit or orange juice? Yeah, that’d be nice and refreshing on a hot summer day!
