Garage Beer Co

This Fruit Beer, built upon a Hazy IPA base, elegantly bridges the gap between craft brewing and biodynamic viticulture through the addition of Xarel·lo grape must. The heavy use of wheat creates a signature fluffy texture that serves as a canvas for high-intensity aromatics. Specific hop varieties Strata, Comet, and Loral are expertly paired to elevate the grape's natural notes of elderflower, lime, and stone fruit, while contributing a necessary dank, resinous depth. The palate experience begins with a soft, wheat-derived sweetness that swiftly transitions into a crisp, dry finish, making for a refreshing and highly aromatic hybrid profile.

Appearance. Pale gold with a dense, persistent, fluffy white head and excellent lacing. The beer is distinctly hazy to opaque, reflecting its high wheat content and significant dry-hopping.

Aroma. High intensity and complex; vibrant notes of elderflower, lime zest, and stone fruit from the Xarel·lo must. Complementary hop aromas of passion fruit and strawberry from Strata merge with the floral elegance of Loral and the citrus-forward character of Comet, all supported by a faint, bready wheat malt base.

Taste. Initial impression is a soft, bready sweetness and lush stone fruit. The mid-palate introduces white grape, lemon, and floral brightness. Hop bitterness is moderate and clean, providing structure without being aggressive. The fermentation character is clean, allowing the grape and hop synergy to dominate before ending in a refreshing, dry, and slightly acidic finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a notably creamy and fluffy texture from the wheat. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated.
