Dama Alaricana Meleira
Ale 6.4 º
Dama Alaricana Meleira presents as a robust Belgian Pale Ale, elevated by the aromatic addition of honey. It pours a brilliant copper with a dense, creamy white head. The bouquet is a delicate balance of bready malt, floral honey, and subtle herbal hop notes. On the palate, a smooth base of biscuity malts and honey sweetness is countered by moderate fruitiness suggesting pear and orange zest. Despite its elevated alcohol content, it remains refreshing, concluding with a pleasant, integrated bitterness and a lingering, sweet honey-kissed finish that highlights its artisan character.
Appearance. Deep amber to copper in color (12-14 SRM) with very good clarity. It supports a thick, creamy, rocky white head with excellent retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a base of bready and lightly toasted malt elevated by distinct floral honey notes. Low to moderate herbal hop character is present, supported by moderate esters of pear and apple. Fermentation is clean with only a hint of spicy, peppery phenols.
Taste. Initial impression is of soft, biscuity malt and smooth honey. The mid-palate introduces moderate fruity esters resembling orange peel and pear. Hop flavor is medium-low and herbal. Bitterness is moderate, balancing the residual honey sweetness rather than overwhelming it. The finish is balanced to slightly sweet with a lingering, pleasant honey aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium to medium-full body, slightly fuller than typical for the style due to the 6.4% ABV and honey addition. Moderate to medium-high carbonation provides a smooth, refreshing palate. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but not hot.
