Espiga

This refreshing Blonde Ale presents a bright, approachable profile centered on a crisp Pils malt base. A vibrant hop bouquet of Mosaic, Cascade, and Citra delivers a layered aromatic experience, weaving together bright citrus, tropical fruit, and delicate herbal notes. Its light body and lively carbonation accentuate its refreshing nature, making it highly accessible. The addition of gluten-free grains maintains a clean profile within this Alternative Grain Beer, leading to a decidedly dry and pleasant finish with a well-defined, moderate bitterness. It is a quintessential example of a modern, hop-forward session ale that balances craft complexity with high drinkability.

Appearance. Light gold to pale yellow (SRM 3-4). Brilliant clarity with a tall, long-lasting white head of fine, abundant bubbles that leaves moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominant hop character featuring citrus notes of lime and grapefruit, tropical hints of blueberry, and a light herbal undertone. Low bready and sweet malt aroma provides a clean, neutral base with no significant fermentation esters.

Taste. Crisp and refreshing initial impression. Light bready malt flavor is balanced by moderate hop bitterness. Hop flavors are pronounced, showcasing lemon zest, floral notes, and tropical fruit. The finish is very dry and clean with a lingering, pleasant herbal and citrus bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a lean, crisp texture. High carbonation provides a prickly, refreshing sensation. No perceived alcohol warmth or astringency, resulting in a smooth and highly drinkable mouthfeel.
