Malaqa Holden
Witbier 5.6 º
Malaqa Holden presents a literary-inspired take on the Witbier, leaning into the spicy depths of Centeno to complement its traditional Wheat base. The character is defined by a refreshing interplay of zesty Curaçao orange peel and peppery coriander, supported by a soft, bready malt backbone. Its hazy, straw-colored appearance and dense foam invite notes of honey and vanilla, while the addition of Centeno introduces a distinctive, earthy snap. High carbonation lifts the palate, ensuring a crisp, dry finish that balances moderate fruitiness with a subtle, herbal hop presence, capturing a sense of youthful vibrancy and craft precision.
Appearance. Pale straw to deep yellow in color, characterized by a significant starch haze that provides a milky, whitish-yellow glow. It supports a dense, white, moussy head with persistent retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma. Moderate bready maltiness with subtle hints of honey and vanilla. Pronounced aromatics of perfumy-lemony coriander and zesty orange peel are complemented by a light, spicy graininess from the rye and a very low herbal hop note.
Taste. The palate opens with pleasant bready and grainy malt flavors. A moderate citrusy orange fruitiness emerges, balanced by herbal-spicy coriander and the peppery snap of rye. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough structure to support a refreshingly crisp and dry finish.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. High carbonation provides a lively, effervescent mouthfeel that enhances the beer's refreshing qualities without any astringency or alcohol harshness.
