Tepu is a vibrant Belgian Single that reinterprets the traditional table beer through a modern, hop-forward lens. Despite its sessionable 2.8% ABV, it delivers a punchy aromatic profile led by the distinctive lime and tropical citrus notes of Motueka and Citra hops. These New World varieties interweave seamlessly with a classic, spicy Belgian yeast character, evoking hints of white pepper and soft pome fruit. The base features a delicate, crackery malt foundation that supports a firm, thirst-quenching bitterness. Exceptionally dry and effervescent, this beer offers a refreshing, lime-forward finish that belies its light frame, perfectly embodying a sophisticated, monastic-inspired session ale.
