Keks Volcanica is a refreshing, easy-drinking Blonde Ale crafted for the gastronomy of the Garrotxa region. It presents a profile inspired by Pilsen malts with a nuanced malt base highlighted by the inclusion of maize, which provides a characteristic grainy sweetness. The sensory experience is defined by a delicate balance between soft bready maltiness and a clean, floral hop bitterness. Its volcanic roots are reflected in its crisp nature, offering a profile that transitions from a light yeasty aroma to a palate that is initially soft but finishes with a distinctive dry snap and a lingering sweet corn-like aftertaste.
