BREWERY TASTING NOTES:

小满 Xiao2 Man3 

The Winter Melon Tea Ale "小满" Xiao Man (means “Grain Full”) - as the weather gradually warms up, accompanied by continuous rain. "Xiao Man" signifies that things are almost at their fullest. It refers to summer crops gradually growing and becoming ready for harvest. For farmers, "Xiao Man" represents their earnest anticipation for a bountiful harvest in the near future.

'Xiao Man' isn't your average brew—it's Belgian Pale Ale with a twist. Instead of the usual Belgian sugar, the winter melon tea sugar is used. Winter melon tea isn't just any old drink—it's a Taiwanese treasure, a concoction crafted by our ancestors who simmered winter melon with sugar to brew up a cool, refreshing elixir. That childhood memory of sipping on summer's sweet nectar? Well, it's all grown up now, transformed into "Xiao Man", a brew that's been through its share of highs and lows, but still manages to serve up a bittersweet symphony of flavors.
