What is Calamansi & Tea Lager?
Dokkaebier’s Calamansi & Tea Lager was a unique, Asian-inspired craft beer that brought together the vibrant flavors of calamansi—a prized citrus fruit from the Philippines—and the delicate, aromatic notes of jasmine tea. The beer delivered a harmonious blend of fruity, floral, and malty flavors for a refreshingly complex drinking experience.
Why We Made It
At Dokkaebier, we continuously explore bold, culturally inspired flavors. Calamansi & Tea Lager was created to showcase the bright, citrus-forward taste of calamansi, complemented by the gentle floral undertones of jasmine tea. The combination highlighted our commitment to crafting beers that celebrate authentic ingredients and unique flavor profiles.
Ingredients That Make It Stand Out
- Calamansi contributed zesty, lemony-citrus flavors with notes of lime, tangerine, and lemon zest.
- Jasmine tea added subtle floral undertones that enhanced the citrus aroma while supporting the malty backbone of the beer.
What To Expect From Calamansi & Tea Lager
On the nose, it offered a vibrant bouquet of calamansi, lime, tangerines, lemon zest, jasmine flowers, and black tea. The flavor profile opened with bright lemony-citrus notes and a gentle jasmine tea undertone, while the malty finish kept the brew balanced and rounded.
