Well, I’m gonna try and clone the Somersault. Does anyone have a clue how much and in what form the Ginger and apricot should be? Those two flavors are just undertones, barely perceptable. (at least to me)
Any help woould be most aprreciated, here’s what it says on their website:
Somersault Ale was designed to be a fun roll around on the tongue while requiring only the minimum of palate gymnastics. In other words, this perfect summer lounge around beer is ridiculously fun and easy to drink. Even though the second Somersault goes down as effortlessly the first, our brewer Grady actually has quite a few remarkable notes at play in the nose, flavor and mouthfeel. There is an opening brace of citrus aroma from Centennial hops, a soft apricot fruitiness tucked into the flavor, a fresh snap from a sliver of ginger root, finished with oats in a long cool mash. Color is blonde with a suggestion of cloudiness. Somersaults all around!
Just the facts Ma’am…
ABV - 5.2%
IBU - 28
Calories - 130
Hops - Centennial- Medium intensity with floral and citrus tones. Very balanced hop, sometimes called a super Cascade.
Guess I’m just punchy this morning, feel free to clone what you wish, but I thought Somersault was pretty boring.
At any rate, I’ve never used Ginger in a traditional beer and 2 oz sounds too high. Definitely 1.5oz of orange peel ain’t gonna be subtle in a 10 gallon batch. Looks like you forgot the Apricot, I’d suggest flavoring at packaging to taste.
