Menduiña Avalonia
Specialty Beer 7 º
Menduiña Avalonia is a sophisticated hybrid that marries the clean structure of a Pale Lager with the rustic, tart character of Ribela organic cider. The sensory experience is led by a vibrant, perfume-like elderflower dry hopping, evoking notes of lychee and white blossoms. On the palate, the crispness of the base lager is enhanced by the bright acidity of the cider, creating a refreshing, vinous profile. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a delicate floral trail. This Fruit Beer successfully balances the grainy sweetness of malt with the nuanced botanical and fruity additions, resulting in a complex yet highly drinkable 7% ABV specialty.
Appearance. Straw to pale gold (3-5 SRM). Brilliantly clear with high effervescence. Forms a frothy white head with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by the floral, musky perfume of fresh elderflower, often reminiscent of lychee or white grapes. Complemented by the crisp, tart aroma of green apples from the cider. Low grainy-sweet malt presence with no hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impression is crisp and tart. Distinctive flavors of fresh apple and cider acidity are well-integrated with the floral, botanical notes of elderflower. Very low hop bitterness. Malt flavor is low and neutral, providing a light grainy backbone. The finish is very dry, clean, and slightly vinous with a lingering floral aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a brisk, high carbonation that enhances the refreshing quality. Very light alcohol warmth is well-integrated and smooth. No tannic astringency despite the cider and floral additions.
