Caficho Kafir es el resultado de una reinterpretación salvaje del estilo alemán Berliner Weisse realizada mediante la acidificación del mosto en una suerte de koolship con una cama de hojas de limón kafir expuesto a la micro flora de Escazú y posteriormente añejada en barricas de roble con el cultivo del ermitaño.
Es una cerveza suave y refrescante con alta carbonatación y una acidez pujante.

It is a soft and refreshing beer with high carbonation and a thriving acidity.

Pale, some haze. The aroma is mild, clean, slightly floral. On the palate, it's got a bit of citrusy character, light grain, a bit floral again. A touch of an acetic note in the finish. Pretty good, and balanced.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has some citrus, an odd fungal-like bugginess, and a touch of oak. Flavour has some sweetness to it, with gentle citrus, plenty of well-integrated acidity, and too much sugar for the style but it somehow works. This one’s a bit of a head-scratcher—wouldn’t have guessed this is a Berliner (or Berliner-inspired). Pleasant, but I’m not sure it comes together or really works as is.

650mL bottle. Pours a murky dull blonde with a small white head. Wheat, sugars, and lime on the nose. Flavour has icing sugar, light acidity, some sweet limes. The malts are kind of heavy and there's a sweetness that's throwing me off a bit. It's okay, but I'm not a massive fan.

750ml C & C'd bottle picked up at the brewery.
Pours slightly cloudy straw orange with a small white head that dissipates quickly, no lacing. Woody, wheat, lime, tart, dry finish.
Wow, this is great!
