Cervesa Màger Oolong is a refreshing Straight Sour Beer that harmonizes bright lactic acidity with a complex botanical profile. Fermented with a kombucha scoby in collaboration with Kombucha La Valiente, it presents a delicate interplay of grassy Sencha, slightly smoky Gunpowder, and floral Oolong tea. The aroma is dominated by herbal tea leaves and a lemony tartness, backed by a faint crackery malt backbone. On the palate, the clean, zippy sourness leads into earthy tea tannins and a bone-dry finish. This low-ABV ale offers a sophisticated, layered sensory experience where the herbal tea botanicals elevate the crisp, tart base.
Appearance.Pale straw (2–3 SRM). Clarity is slightly hazy due to the tea infusion and scoby fermentation. Features a large, white, frothy head with relatively poor retention and minimal lacing.
Aroma.Intensity is moderate-high, led by a sharply sour lactic character and a complex herbal bouquet. Distinct notes of grassy Sencha tea and earthy Oolong dominate, with a faint floral sweetness. Malt character is low, appearing as crackery or bready. No hop aroma is present.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply tart and refreshing. Clean lactic acidity dominates, complemented by the herbal bitterness of Gunpowder and Sencha teas. The malt profile is thin and crackery, providing a neutral stage for the tea flavors. Finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering earthy, tannic tea aftertaste. No hop flavor or bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Light body with a crisp, effervescent carbonation. Very low alcohol presence with no perceptible warmth. Features a sharp, acidic prickle on the tongue and a slight tannic astringency from the tea maceration.
