Notes

Base malts in the Lucid Dream add excellent malty character with
warm and slightly bready flavors. White wheat infuses the flavor of cookie dough right off the spoon, and red wheat introduces a light cream of wheat with a hint of bread crust and brown sugar. Intense black currant spice aromas come from the hops which also provide a milk spicy bittering quality. The yeast used in this recipe contributes an herbal aroma and flavor notes which blend well with the herb adjunct which is added into this recipe. Chamomile provides gentle notes of apple, a mellow, honey-butter-like sweetness, and a calming effect.

Chamomile is added during wort chilling once the temperature reaches 170f and is left until the wart is drained.
