Terra Aspra Espantaocells
This Weissbier offers a Mediterranean interpretation of the traditional German style, presenting a pale straw hue beneath a fluffy white head. The foundational fermentation profile of banana and clove is artfully enhanced by the addition of honey and a unique selection of garden herbs from the brewer’s orchard. These additions introduce a subtle floral and botanical complexity that complements the soft, bready wheat base. On the palate, the sweetness of the honey remains restrained, allowing the spritzy carbonation and lean finish to provide high drinkability, while the herbal notes lend a refreshing, sun-drenched character to the classic clove-driven finish.
Appearance. Pale straw (3 SRM) with a thick, moussy, and long-lasting white head that leaves persistent lacing. The body is hazy with a characteristic yeast-and-protein-induced shine.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with classic yeast esters of ripe banana and spicy clove phenols. A soft, bready wheat malt character is complemented by the floral scent of honey and a unique Mediterranean herbal bouquet that adds botanical depth.
Taste. Initial impressions of soft, bready wheat and a delicate honey sweetness. This is quickly balanced by prominent flavors of banana and spicy clove. Mid-palate reveals an integrated herbal complexity from the garden additions. Bitterness is very low, keeping the focus on the yeast character. The finish is relatively dry and refreshing with a lingering spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a fluffy, creamy fullness on the tongue. High carbonation creates a spritzy, effervescent mouthfeel. No alcohol warmth is present, and the beer remains smooth and non-astringent.
