Meiga

Meiga Abelleira is an elevated take on the Blonde Ale, enriched with local chestnut honey and a trio of malts, including oats for added silkiness. It opens with a distinctive aroma of chestnut honey, offering earthy and woody sweetness rather than simple sugar, complemented by citrusy hop notes from a blend of American and German varieties. The palate is defined by a toasted malt foundation and a smooth texture. A firm bitterness balances the subtle honey presence, which lingers gently in the dry aftertaste. At 6.5% ABV, it carries more weight and warmth than standard examples while remaining approachable and clean.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (6-10 SRM). Clear to brilliant clarity. Displays a moderate, creamy off-white head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a complex profile of earthy chestnut honey and toasted malt. The hop character is medium-low, featuring clean citrus and floral notes. Clean fermentation with very low fruity esters and no harsh phenols.

Taste. Initial soft maltiness with bread and toasted biscuit notes. The chestnut honey provides a unique, slightly woody flavor that is not overly sweet. Hop bitterness is moderate, providing a clean balance against the malt. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering citrus hop flavor and a subtle honey aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a noticeably smooth, almost silky texture attributed to the addition of oats. Moderate carbonation. A well-integrated, gentle alcohol warmth is present, without any harshness or astringency.
