Herevana – #206 – Garage Project – Mountain Call

Mountain Call, a 7.2% Farmhouse Ale from Garage Project’s Wild Workshop, combines sour elements with smoky Lapsang Souchong tea. While initially sweet and smooth, it features delicate notes of peach and grapes. The beer’s complexity and lingering taste offer a delightful experience, earning a high rating of 9 on the “Pdubyah-o-meter.”
