Capfoguer Meoasako is a refreshing Alternative Grain Beer that highlights the unique synergy between crisp rice and the distinctive Japanese Sorachi Ace hop. It pours with a brilliant clarity and offers a moderate-intensity bouquet of lemon zest, fresh dill, and lemongrass. The rice addition provides a clean, neutral canvas that lightens the body and promotes a bone-dry finish, allowing the Sorachi Ace to shine with its herbal and citrus complexity. Soft on the palate yet effervescent, this beer captures an elegant balance between grainy sweetness and a delicate hop bite, making it an ideal, evocative summer refresher.
Appearance.Pours a brilliant, pale straw color (2-3 SRM) with a bright white, frothy head that exhibits good retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring signature Sorachi Ace notes of lemon peel, lemongrass, and a distinct herbal touch of dill. The malt profile is neutral and clean, with a very light, sweet graininess derived from the rice. Fermentation is clean with no esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial impression is crisp and lean. The flavor profile is dominated by the citrusy and herbal character of Sorachi Ace, providing notes of lemon and crushed herbs. A subtle, wafer-like graininess from the rice emerges mid-palate before transitioning into a clean, dry finish. Bitterness is mild to moderate, providing just enough structure to balance the light malt.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. High carbonation enhances the bright citrus notes and ensures a lively, scrubbing palate effect. No alcohol warmth is perceptible, and there is no astringency.
