This refreshing American Wheat Beer showcases a unique malt backbone of organic Spelt, providing a distinctively spicy, grainy, and bready foundation. The use of Mandarina Bavaria hops infuses the profile with vibrant citrus notes reminiscent of freshly peeled tangerine and subtle herbal undertones. Clean fermentation from the American yeast allows the interplay between the doughy grain and fruity hops to take center stage. With its soft bitterness and crisp finish, this pale gold ale offers a bright, accessible sensory experience that balances the rustic texture of the grain with a modern, fruit-forward hop character.
