Fruit Beer 5.4 º

Blaue Ente

This vibrant Fruit Beer presents an inviting twist on a traditional Wheat Ale, showcasing the bright, stone fruit essence of Mirabelle plums. On the nose, fresh orchard aromas of yellow plum and subtle wheat graininess lead the way. The palate is defined by a lively, spritzig carbonation and a refreshing, tart acidity that cuts through the soft malt body. Because the fruit sugars are fully fermented, the finish remains crisp and dry rather than cloying. Distinctive orange-tinted foam crowns the glass, hinting at the fruit’s influence, while the harmonious balance between delicate esters and tangy fruit makes for a highly drinkable, summer-centric ale.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber-orange; topped with a distinctive light orange-tinted head showing moderate retention and fine lacing. Slight haze is present, typical of a wheat-based grist.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh Mirabelle plums, offering notes of stone fruit and soft floral honey. A background of bready, grainy wheat malt provides a clean foundation, accompanied by low fruity esters and minimal hop presence.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and refreshingly tart. The flavor of Mirabelle plum is prominent but not syrupy, as the fermented fruit sugars contribute a clean, dry character. Low bready wheat malt flavors are balanced by a gentle, fresh acidity. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the fruit to shine through a crisp, short, and slightly tangy finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, spritzig carbonation that enhances the refreshing qualities of the fruit. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated. Smooth texture with no notable astringency.
