Bière de Garde 5.9 º 15 IBU

La Jungle

La Jungle Spelta offers a refined interpretation of a Bière de Garde, blending the rustic complexity of spelt with the nuanced depth of barrel aging. The sensory profile is driven by a prominent malty richness, featuring toasty and biscuity notes from Vienna and Munich malts. The inclusion of spelt provides a distinct grainy, earthy texture, while the blending of aged and young beer introduces subtle oak-derived tannins and a crisp, dry finish. A clean fermentation profile allows the malt architecture to shine, complemented by low spicy and herbal hop accents. The result is a smooth, elegant ale with a sophisticated, lagered character.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (8–12 SRM). Pours with a thick, persistent off-white head that leaves delicate lacing. Clarity is clear to slightly hazy due to the high protein content of the spelt.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Strong bready and toasty malt richness dominates, supported by light pear and apple esters. Low spicy and herbal hop character. Faint whispers of vanilla and oak from the barrel-aged component add complexity without being overt.

Taste. Initial impression is malty sweetness, quickly transitioning to toasty and biscuity flavors. The spelt contributes a rustic, nutty graininess. Hop bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance to keep the malt focus. Finishes medium-dry and clean with a lingering toasty aftertaste and a touch of woody tannin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a noticeably smooth, silky texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, creating a lively but creamy palate. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated at 5.9% ABV.
