Ale-Mania Saison Riesling 2019
Other Styles 9.1 º
This sophisticated collaboration results in a Grape Ale where the elegant profile of Riesling must meets the rustic charm of a Belgian Saison. The sensory experience is defined by a bouquet of floral white blossoms, ripe peach, and green apple, underpinned by the spicy, peppery phenols of the saison yeast. Despite its elevated strength, the beer remains remarkably slender and crisp on the palate. Flavors of dry white wine and subtle mineral notes dance with soft honeyed malts, finishing with a bone-dry, champagne-like effervescence. It is a harmonious hybrid that perfectly captures the essence of both the cellar and the brewhouse.
Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 5 SRM) with brilliant clarity and no haze. Pours with a large, white, fine-beaded head that shows moderate retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity. Prominent Riesling grape character featuring apricot, peach, and floral jasmine. This melds with yeast traits of cracked black pepper and clove. Low pilsner malt sweetness provides a soft honeyed background. No significant hop aroma or diacetyl present.
Taste. The initial impression is dry and vinous. Flavors of tart green grape and stone fruit dominate, supported by a light, cracker-like malt base. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the natural acidity of the Riesling must to provide balance. The fermentation character is clean with a peppery phenolic finish. Exceedingly dry, crisp aftertaste with a lingering mineral quality.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body that maintains a slender profile despite the alcohol content. High carbonation creates a sparkling, prickly sensation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow. Very low astringency.
