La Cibeles Madrid Sour
Sour Ale 4.5 º
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.
Appearance. Straw to pale gold (2–4 SRM). Large, dense white head with moderate to poor retention. Clarity is clear to brilliant with active effervescence.
Aroma. Moderate intensity. Clean, lactic sourness is primary, complemented by honeyed and crackery pale malt character. Moderate fruity esters of tart apple, lemon, and apricot. No hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression of soft lactic sourness. Low bready and honeyed malt flavor supports a citrusy-lemony and green apple fruitiness. Hop bitterness is undetectable. Finish is dry and clean with no harshness.
Mouthfeel. Light body with high carbonation. Crisp acidity provides a refreshing bite. Very low alcohol warmth; no astringency or puckering sensation.
