Julianna, who builds ecstatic choirs by looping and layering her voice, helped choose the ingredients for Rosabi and visited coastal Delaware to brew a test batch.
Citrusy Simcoe and Centennial feed Julianna’s love of hops, and the star of the show is her go-to ingredient: wasabi. What’s hoppy? … Wasabi. The Japanese root adds bittering and herbal notes similar to hops, with its subtle heat creeping in after the kick of carbonation.

750 ml bottle. Hazy, reddish copper color. Small creamy beige head. Sweet, earthy, spicy malt nose. Sharp, spicy, bitter malt flavor. Notes of wasabi root and nutty, grain. Some mild heat. Certainly interesting. Dogfish Head strong!

Bottle pour into pint glass from Cigarette City. Aroma is malty bread base with sweet, almost tropical, fruit and musty smell. Appearance is cloudy light brown/orange with dark floaters, nice sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with nice retention and light lacing. Taste is the sweet fruit and malt base as in aroma with mild alcohol taste and late spiciness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with soft to average carbonation, with sweet and spicy finish. Overall, this was unintentionally aged--2 years--which may not have been the best thing for it. Still good and some novelty with the wasabi but this was probably not at its best.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl via the cgarvieuk dregs run. Appearance - murky brown, decent head assumed. Nose - sweet line and honey. Slight hit of the spice at the back. Taste - more of the same. The spice is a long slow burn and generally subtle. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - really interesting beer.

Bottle from Craigs, dregs run, shared with AshtonMcCobb. Pours murky brown with a thin white head. Aromas of sweet caramel, faint wasabi tingle, light citrus. Taste is creamy, light spice, more caramel. A steady hand with the wasabi, gentle tingle finish.

75cl bottle from Total Wine Tampa, it showed as new in stock, back home notice a bottled on date of 05/2013. Great and where is the damn wasabi?!? Ambrée/orangée, col épais beige. Arôme au bouquet finement wasabi, le houblon reste assez présent avec des effluves mettant nettement en avant les malts; chocolaté et caramel. Palais est léger profil reste fort centré sur les malts, le wasabi en a quais disparu. Retrouve une bière sur une base maltée conséquente et plaisante avec un houblonné moyen qui apporte une belle note citronnée. Bière correcte mais qui sans l’ingrédient phare perd tout son charme.

(On Tap) Clear rosy golden with good white head. Pine and citrus aroma. Light bodied with mouthfilling carbonation. Complex flavour, mainly citrus and hops. AN interesting and enjoyable beer.

Location: 750 ml bottle from State Line, 1/11/15, Bottled 5/15/14
Aroma: The aroma is citrus and floral, some wasabi, spice notes, and a good bit of earth as well
Appearance: A murky reddish color with a smallish bubbly beige colored head and mid-heavy lace
Flavor: The flavor is fairly balanced between the wasabi, the sweet malts, and a light bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, with a softer carbonation, well hidden ABV, and a smooth, spicy finish
Overall Impression: Perhaps the hops have faded a bit (since this bottle is more than half a year past bottling), but I enjoyed what this beer has developed into. The wasabi component of the flavor actually works pretty well, you can tell it is there, but it doesn't completely overpower the rest of this beer's components. I'm not sure the combination would ever be a favorite of mine personally, but the whole thing feels very well crafted. I've happily enjoyed a good portion of the bottle, and I'm plenty happy to finish off the rest.
