Tadpole: Hoosier Cabin Persimmon Brown
ABV: 7.7%
Persimmons are a plum-sized, orange berry found in the Midwest and Southern US. Their flavor has been described “as if a pumpkin were small and very sweet.” Combined with the warm flavors of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg, and you’ve got yourself some homemade persimmon pudding in a glass. This beer is particularly meaningful because it was made with persimmons harvested by hand at Caroline & Vinny’s family cabin in western Indiana.
