Gallia

This French-inspired American Lager offers a sophisticated twist on a classic crisp profile. The inclusion of Rye introduces a delicate, spicy graininess that complements the neutral malt base, while the use of French Elixir hops imparts elegant notes of white fruits, such as pear and white grape. It pours with brilliant clarity, leading to a palate defined by freshness and vivacity. The finish is remarkably clean and dry, balancing a subtle malt sweetness with a light, floral hop presence. It is an elevated take on the style, showcasing local terroir through a vibrant and refreshing lens.

Appearance. Very pale straw to light gold with brilliant clarity. Pours with a white, frothy head that exhibits moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Low to moderate intensity. Initial grainy sweetness from the malt is accented by a distinctive spicy note from the Rye. The hop character is prominent for the style, featuring floral and white fruit aromas of grape and orchard fruit derived from Elixir hops. Fermentation is clean.

Taste. Crisp initial palate that gives way to a grainy, slightly peppery malt flavor from the Rye. Hop flavors of white peach and floral blossom from the Elixir variety provide a subtle complexity. Bitterness is low to medium-low, providing just enough balance to ensure a dry, refreshing finish. Very clean fermentation profile.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, slightly fuller than a standard example due to the rye content. High carbonation provides a lively, scrubbing carbonic bite. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated.
