Berliner Weisse 4.5 º 8 IBU

La Calavera

This Berliner Weisse from La Calavera is a vibrant, highly refreshing ale defined by the clean, sharp acidity of Lactobacillus Hellveticus. Appearing pale straw with high effervescence, it offers an inviting aroma of tart lemon, green apple, and sourdough bread. The palate is dominated by a crisp lactic sourness that is elegantly balanced by a light, doughy wheat malt character. Devoid of hop bitterness, the profile leans into bright citrus and stone fruit esters, finishing bone-dry and snappy. It is an exceptionally drinkable interpretation of the style that emphasizes fermentation purity and refreshing tartness.

Appearance. Very pale straw (2 SRM). Pours with a large, dense white head that exhibits poor retention. Generally clear to slightly hazy with high effervescence.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of sharp lactic sourness. Dominant notes of tart lemon and green apple are supported by a light sourdough and raw bread dough malt character. No hop aroma; subtle floral notes may be present.

Taste. A clean, dominant lactic sourness provides a refreshing initial impression. A complementary grainy and bready wheat flavor provides a light malt backbone. Hop bitterness is undetectable, with acidity providing the primary balance. Nuances of citrus, lemon, and tart apricot lead into a very dry, crisp finish.

Mouthfeel. Light body but not thin. Very high carbonation creates a prickly, effervescent sensation. No alcohol warmth. Crisp acidity with no astringency.
