Espiga

Espiga Runing Away is a sophisticated Super Strength Saison that masterfully bridges the gap between farmhouse ale and traditional cider. Born from a blend of foudré-aged Blonde Ale and a wild-fermented Saison, it showcases a vibrant integration of biodynamic apples and white grapes added during fermentation. The sensory profile is defined by a "festival of yeasts," delivering a complex funky character alongside crisp pome fruit and vinous grape notes. Despite its potent 8.5% ABV, the beer remains remarkably subtle, offering a gentle acidity and nuanced wood influence. It finishes bone-dry with a lingering rustic charm, embodying a refreshing yet potent take on the farmhouse tradition.

Appearance. Golden and glossy with brilliant clarity. Features a light, white foam head with moderate retention and light lacing. SRM: 6.

Aroma. High intensity with a cider-like profile. Prominent aromas of biodynamic apples and white grapes dominate, supported by a complex funky, wild yeast character. Subtle spicy Belgian phenols and light oaky wood notes from the foudré aging are present over a low grainy malt base.

Taste. Initial impression of soft acidity and crisp fruit. Flavors of tart apple and white grape are central, complemented by a complex rustic funk and light tannic wood notes. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the fruit and fermentation acids to balance the grainy malt. Finishes very dry and clean with a lingering fruity and spicy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with high, effervescent carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that remains smooth despite the high strength. Low astringency and a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel.
