Toutatis La Fruitée presents a vibrant sensory journey inspired by Belgian brewing traditions. This Fruit Beer, built on a foundation of raw wheat, offers a refreshing acidity that complements the bright, authentic essence of fresh raspberry. The aroma is highly expressive, weaving together the tart, red-berry perfume of fermented fruit with the delicate, citrusy spice of coriander. Belgian yeast contributes subtle fruity esters that enhance the complex bouquet. Its hazy, rosy appearance and lively carbonation lead to a crisp, dry finish where the fruit character shines without cloying sweetness, delivering a sophisticated and balanced interpretation of a fruited wheat ale.
Appearance.SRM 3-6 (with a distinct rosy-pink hue); hazy to cloudy clarity due to the use of raw wheat; white to light pink head with moderate retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity of fresh raspberry and red berry esters; moderate spicy coriander and light peppery phenols from Belgian yeast; low bready, grainy malt sweetness; no detectable hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression is refreshing and slightly tart; prominent raspberry fruit flavor that is well-integrated and not syrupy; light bready wheat malt provides a soft backdrop; moderate coriander spice and citrusy esters; low bitterness (approx. 10-15 IBU); finishes dry and clean with a lingering fruit tartness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a soft, pillowy texture from the wheat; high carbonation providing a spritzy, refreshing lift; very low alcohol warmth; slight acidic crispness; no astringency.
