Birra 08

Lusitània is a distinctive Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer crafted with Thymus Mastichina, commonly known as white thyme. This aromatic herb dominates the sensory profile, delivering evocative scents of fresh-cut grass and cool mint. The experience deepens on the palate where notes of resinous eucalyptus emerge, supported by a sumptuous malt foundation that provides a velvety, rich texture. While the botanical additions are assertive and innovative, they remain balanced against a clean base, offering a refreshing profile that bridges the gap between traditional brewing and botanical infusions with a lingering, cooling finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (8-12 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a persistent, creamy off-white head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of herbal aromatics. The Thymus Mastichina provides a sharp, clean scent of crushed mint leaves and dewy grass. Underlying these botanical notes is a subtle, grainy-sweet malt character. Hop aroma is low, and fermentation esters are minimal, allowing the herbal complexity to remain the primary focus.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of refreshing mint and herbal spice. Mid-palate, distinct eucalyptus flavors develop, lending a cooling sensation. The malt character is rich and bready, providing a supportive backbone to counter the herbal intensity. Hop bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, leading to a clean, slightly resinous finish with a lingering botanical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly sumptuous texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, enhancing the refreshing quality of the mint and eucalyptus notes. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
