Farruca Calabaza
Farruca Calabaza captures the essence of the harvest season with an inviting copper hue. This Autumn Seasonal Beer presents an intense aromatic profile dominated by warm cinnamon and deep toasted malt notes, resting on a sweet foundation of pumpkin. On the palate, it strikes a sophisticated balance where the earthiness of pumpkin melds with spicy cinnamon, leading into a refreshing ginger-accented finish. The integration of these festive ingredients against a toasty base evokes memories of autumn desserts and roasted comforts, offering a clean, bright presentation with fine carbonation that enhances its drinkability and aromatic delivery.
Appearance. Intense copper-colored (approximately 14-17 SRM), clean and brilliant clarity. Features a persistent, well-formed off-white head with good carbonation retention and fine bubbles.
Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring prominent spicy cinnamon and supportive toasted malt notes reminiscent of pie crust. A distinct sweet vegetable note of pumpkin is evident in the background, well-integrated with a subtle malt sweetness. Low hop character and clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial impression is malty and sweet, transitioning into marked pumpkin and cinnamon flavors. The base exhibits toasted bread and light caramel qualities. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, serving only to balance the spice and malt. The finish is balanced with a lingering, distinctive ginger aftertaste that provides a light, spicy snap.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slightly chewy texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately high, presenting as fine bubbles. Very light alcohol warmth is appropriate for its 6% ABV, with a smooth, clean mouthfeel and no astringency.
