Gallaecia Tostada
Gallaecia Tostada offers a rustic interpretation of an International Pale Lager, leaning into its Galician roots with a distinctive toasted character. The profile is anchored by aromas of fresh-baked village bread, warm caramel, and the seasonal scent of roasted chestnuts. While maintaining a clean fermentation profile, it surprises the palate with subtle, earthy nuances reminiscent of forest mushrooms and a delicate touch of clove. Its bright caramel hue and light body provide a refreshing structure, leading to a surprisingly firm bitterness that lingers alongside a clean, dry finish. This lager balances traditional crispness with an evocative, autumnal depth.
Appearance. Deep caramel to copper color (8-12 SRM); brilliant clarity. Features a dense, creamy, and long-lasting off-white head with moderate lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with a focus on grainy-malty sweetness and fresh-baked bread. Distinctive notes of roasted chestnuts and light caramel are present, supported by a very low spicy hop aroma and a clean fermentation profile with a subtle, earthy hint.
Taste. Initial impression is smooth and malty with flavors of crusty bread and light caramel. A moderate hop bitterness emerges quickly, complemented by unique earthy notes of mushrooms and a very subtle spicy clove character. The finish is crisp, clean, and well-attenuated, leaving a lingering, pleasant bitterness and a neutral, dry aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Light body with a crisp, discreet passage across the tongue. Medium to moderately high carbonation provides a refreshing vivacity without being harsh. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated.
