Saison 7.6 º 23 IBU

La Calavera

This sophisticated barrel-aged Saison offers an intricate profile driven by its maturation in white wine casks and the addition of mango. A rustic base of toasted cereal and subtle nutty notes is complemented by an unusual, faint sulfur spark that gives way to fragrant oak and vinous character. The palate opens with a soft mango sweetness, quickly transitioning into a spicy, peppery yeast profile. The finish is defined by a bright, refreshing acidity and lingering wood tannins. Its creamy texture and heightened complexity reflect the influence of the barrel, merging fruit, spice, and a delicate tartness into a harmonious, strong farmhouse experience.

Appearance. Pours a pale straw-gold (approx. 5 SRM) with a fine-textured, white head showing moderate retention and light lacing. Clarity exhibits a slight haze, characteristic of an unfiltered barrel-aged ale with fruit additions.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring grainy, cereal malt and distinct toasted oak. Fruity esters of mango and white wine grapes mingle with spicy, black pepper yeast phenols. A subtle nutty quality and a fleeting hint of sulfur add to the rustic complexity.

Taste. Initial impressions are gently sweet, highlighting succulent mango and soft pome fruit. Low bitterness allows the spicy yeast character and light white wine acidity to take center stage. The finish is complex and dry, with nuances of wood and a lingering, slightly tart, peppery aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a noticeably creamy texture derived from barrel aging. Carbonation is low, providing a fine, soft sensation on the palate. A mild alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 7.6% strength, without being harsh.
