Fruit Beer 6.8 º

Brasserie Caulier

Stuut #8 - Mirabiscus is an expressive Fruit Beer that marries a classic Belgian blonde base with the delicate, honeyed sweetness of Mirabelle plums and the botanical tartness of hibiscus. The addition of Barbe Rouge hops provides a sophisticated aromatic layer of wild strawberry and zesty lemon, which complements the floral character of the petals. Visually, the hibiscus imparts a unique rosy glow to the golden ale. At 6.8% ABV, the beer maintains a medium body where soft malt notes support the vibrant fruit profile. It concludes with a crisp, dry finish and a lingering, berry-inflected floral tang that invites the next sip.

Appearance. Deep gold with a distinctive pinkish-copper hue from the hibiscus. Effervescent with a moderate, off-white to pale-pink head that shows good retention and light lacing. Slight haze is present from the fruit and botanical additions.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Bright notes of yellow plum and floral hibiscus dominate, supported by the strawberry and citrus aromatics of Barbe Rouge hops. A background of honeyed malt and subtle spicy Belgian yeast esters provides a solid foundation without overshadowing the fruit.

Taste. Initial impression is a blend of stone fruit sweetness and a light floral tartness. The Mirabelle plum adds a juicy middle, while the Barbe Rouge hops contribute strawberry and lemon zest flavors. Malt is cracker-like and soft. Bitterness is mild, balancing the fruit. The finish is clean and slightly dry, with a lingering floral and berry-like aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a lively, high carbonation that enhances the fruit's brightness. A subtle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. The hibiscus provides a very faint, pleasant tannic dryness on the tongue.
