Mongozo

This Alternative Grain Beer presents a refreshing interpretation of a classic Witbier profile, uniquely defined by the inclusion of buckwheat and rice. The sensory experience is lead by a vibrant bouquet of coriander and zesty orange peel, layered over a distinctively earthy and slightly nutty buckwheat grain character. It pours a characteristic hazy blonde with a frothy white head. The palate delivers a soft, bready foundation with a mild herbal hop presence and a signature faint tartness that cleanses the palate. This light-bodied, highly carbonated ale showcases the rustic nuance of buckwheat while maintaining the bright, spicy, and fruity hallmarks of a traditional white beer.

Appearance. Pale straw to soft yellow (SRM 2-4). Notable turbidity results in a hazy to opaque appearance. Topped with a dense, white, creamy head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring a complex blend of spicy coriander and sweet orange peel. The malt profile is characterized by a grainy, slightly nutty aroma from the buckwheat, complemented by subtle pear-like yeast esters and a low herbal hop character.

Taste. The initial impression is crisp and refreshing, dominated by citrusy orange and spicy coriander. A soft, bready grain flavor follows, where the buckwheat provides an earthy depth. Hop bitterness is low, allowing a mild lactic-like tartness to emerge in the finish. The aftertaste is short, dry, and clean with a lingering hint of spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, almost creamy texture attributed to the buckwheat. High carbonation provides a prickly, refreshing effervescence. No alcohol warmth is detected at 4.8% ABV, and it finishes without astringency.
