    uniE621 Coral forrest - Craft beer
    Meant to be released during the fall season. In combination with fruit and it's dark color mixture, It merges autumn ale with barley and field malt. Balancing perfectly between bitter and sweet taste. Abundantly filled up from blackberries, blueberries all the way to raspberries, topped up with American Mosaic hops. Perfect for them long and rusty sunday evenings. Idea was to create a unique and rich wild life forest out of corals, mixing up with out the ordinary and funky creatures such as owls and crabs, as well as having hidden gems of it's own for one to discover. However, fruit were to be seen as the main focal point whilst highlighting the vibrant design. See full project: https://www.behance.net/gallery/132118565/Koralu-Miskas-Craft-Beer…
