This Straight Sour Beer captures a distinct sense of place through the use of indigenous wild yeast from Madrid. It presents a sophisticated sensory profile where a gentle, clean lactic acidity harmonizes with unexpected honey-like malt nuances derived from its pale malt base. The fermentation character is notably fruity, offering bright layers of green apple, apricot, and soft citrus that define the aromatic bouquet. Designed as a traditional, light-bodied ale, it avoids aggressive sourness in favor of a refreshing, crisp balance. The result is a highly approachable and effervescent experience that highlights the subtle complexity of local microflora and delicate grain character.
