Hordago Cuélebre is a refreshing expression of a classic Witbier, defined by its crisp blend of barley and wheat. The sensory profile is led by a bright, zesty aroma of bitter orange peel, which harmonizes with citrusy aroma hops to create an inviting bouquet. Its appearance is a characteristic pale straw with a soft, milky haze and a resilient, moussy white head. On the palate, a light, bready malt foundation supports delicate spice notes and a floral fruitiness, finishing exceptionally dry. This effervescent ale balances low bitterness with high drinkability, offering a revitalizing experience that captures the essence of a traditional Belgian-style wheat beer.
