Kettal. La Espiga
This sessionable Weissbier presents a refreshing, lighter take on the traditional German style, anchored by a unique base of Maris Otter and malted wheat. Despite its modest 3.5% ABV, it maintains a distinctive character with moderate aromas of clove and ripe banana. The inclusion of Hersbrucker hops lends a delicate, herbal spice that complements the bready, grainy malt profile. Its pale, hazy appearance leads into a spritzy, effervescent palate, where the classic yeast-driven esters are well-balanced by a soft, doughy sweetness. It finishes clean and dry, making it an exceptionally approachable and crisp interpretation of a classic wheat ale.
Appearance. Pale straw (2-3 SRM). Hazy to cloudy with a thick, white, moussy head that exhibits moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with clear notes of clove and banana. A distinct bready and grainy wheat presence from the Maris Otter and malted wheat. Subtle herbal and spicy notes from the Hersbrucker hops are detectable in the background.
Taste. Initial impression is of soft, bready malt and grainy wheat. Banana and clove flavors are moderate and well-balanced. Very low bitterness allows the malt and yeast character to shine. Finishes dry and refreshing with a light, lingering wheat graininess and a clean aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a fluffy, creamy texture from the high wheat content. High carbonation provides a spritzy, effervescent sensation. No alcohol warmth is perceived.
