Makeda

Tella Inspired Lager

For normal people

Darn Tasty Tella Inspired Lager

for beer lovers

Soft on the palate but no slouch on flavor, get ready to wish our Ethiopian friends "Melkam Addis Amet" (Happy New Year) with Makeda Lager, named after the Ethiopic name for Ethiopia’s Queen of Sheba who reigned from 1013 to 982 BCE. Brown teff flour contributes some earthy texture and nutty flavors, with a spicy/sweet cinnamon bark flavor from the gesho. Mild aromas of Earl Grey and juniper berries from the Saphir hops. Additional darkness of color and depth of flavor from midnight wheat and the faintest whisper of smoke in the aftertaste. Contains wheat.
