Li Hing Mui is a Hawaiian treat combining sweet and savory elements of dried plums, salt, and licorice. Souvenir's founder has fond memories of growing
up in Hawaii and we thought this island flavor would accompany our hearty saison perfectly. Fermented with a blend of our house cultures and Flemish yeast, provided by Souvenir, this ale was conditioned atop dried plums, sea salt, and anise. The result is
a quaffable sour ale with bright, tart, and plummy flavor with a snappy, extra dry finish.

Bottle shared by Gene at the Omaha Ratebeer/ Untappd summer gathering. Aroma has mild plums, light apricot. The flavor has a surprisingly strong plum character. Had no idea what Li Hing Mui powder was until today. The strong character of plum makes sense. Nice sour.

(Thanks, Gene trvlr) Bottle. A- Plums. A- Gold color, clear liquid, minimal head. T- Plums, tart. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, tart finish. O- I love Li Hing Mui powder and haven't seen it since my days in Hawaii. In fact I wish more brewers would experiment with it. Add some pineapple and this would be really tasty. Tasted like sour plums as expected.

Sour aroma. Tart and briny flavor with a flavor of wine at the finish, from the plums I assume.

Draft at CB's 2nd anniversary party, poured by Brandon of Sourvenir. Hazy purplish amber color, off white head. Aroma of earthy lightly spiced plum. Taste is softly sour plum. Tasty.
