Rose beer??

[WSB-MBC]

brewed a very simple Wheat AG and dry-hopped with 8 oz of dried rose.
The beer tastes very sour, very light (not much flavor) and had a nice white film on top of the kreusen prior to kegging.
I won't be doing this one again and will probably dump the batch I have now.

(Last time I listen to the wife and her "great ideas" for a beer)

Yeah, there's too much "stuff" on the actual petals. I think you would need rose-infused vodka or real rose water/extract. Using the petals themselves post-boil is going to result in something funky if not infected.

I guess you need more ingredients to do something like this:

I brewed a 2.25g batch (American Wheat style) and added about 3 oz. of Rose Water at bottling. I actually kind of like the beer on hot days. Its like a very strong floral hopped beer in my opinion, but the rose water is the dominant floral flavor. Nice rose aroma. I maybe would drop the rose water to like 2 oz next time.

Reaction has been kind of mixed. Its a good small batch one-off summer brew.

Very interesting thread. I am thinking of doing a saison with rose water and was searching for learnings from fellow brewers. I want a very subtle aroma, hoping people would tell its floral without knowing exactly it is rose. I am wondering if rose water is too "soapy". Also thinking of adding hibiscus and rose hips. what hops do you think could be cool to dry hop that beer?
