This Winter Seasonal Beer serves as a festive sensory bridge between traditional lager brewing and the iconic flavors of Spanish Jijona. A base of 100% malt provides a bready, solid foundation for an aromatic profile rich with honey and toasted almond. The strategic use of Perle hops via late hopping adds a refined, floral, and slightly spicy counterpoint to the dominant turrón character. On the tongue, the beer delivers a gentle sweetness reminiscent of wildflower honey, followed by a surprising but well-integrated hint of dark chocolate. It retains a crisp, refreshing lager quality that balances its dessert-like inspirations, finishing with a subtle, clean bitterness.

Appearance. Golden color (approximately 6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a persistent, fine-bubbled white head that leaves consistent lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of honey and toasted almond dominate the nose. A clean, bready malt backbone supports these sweet notes, accompanied by a very low floral and herbal hop character from the Perle variety. Clean fermentation profile with no significant yeast esters.

Taste. Initial impression is moderately sweet, leading with honey and a distinct nutty nougat flavor. The mid-palate reveals toasted malt and a subtle, lingering dark chocolate nuance. Bitterness is low, derived from late-addition Perle hops, ensuring the finish remains balanced and fresh rather than cloying. The aftertaste is clean with a faint honeyed sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp lift on the palate. Minimal alcohol warmth is perceived, making it very approachable and well-integrated.
