Babel Costa del Sol
Babel Costa del Sol is an exceptionally refreshing Blonde Ale that emphasizes a vibrant, modern aromatic profile. Built on a foundation of Andalusian barley and wheat malt, it pours a pale, yellow-green. The nose is a bright bouquet of citrus and herbal notes, specifically grapefruit, lime, and fresh mint, complemented by nuances of fennel and crisp green pear. On the palate, the wheat provides a soft, approachable texture that balances the integrated 20 IBU bitterness. This light-bodied ale concludes with a clean, effervescent finish, making it a quintessential easy-drinking beer for warm climates.
Appearance. Pale yellow with distinct greenish highlights (SRM 3); clear to brilliant clarity with a fine-textured, white head showing moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh citrus and tropical fruit; prominent notes of grapefruit and lime zest are layered with herbal hints of mint and fennel. A delicate green pear ester is present, supported by a light, grainy-sweet wheat malt character and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial soft maltiness featuring grainy wheat and bread crust flavors. Hop character is fresh and expressive, mirroring the aroma with lime and herbal fennel. Bitterness is low and well-integrated, providing just enough structure to balance the malt without lingering. The finish is medium-dry and crisp with a lingering citrus freshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, almost creamy texture from the wheat. Carbonation is moderate to high and finely integrated due to bottle conditioning. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
